O’Doherty’s golf support brought Spokane community spirit to Circling Raven in 2026. O’Doherty’s Irish Grille sponsored the Marcus Trufant Believe in Me Charity Golf Tournament. Golfers gathered on August 31 at Circling Raven Golf Club in Worley, Idaho. Above all, they shared a reason to play: helping young people move toward their goals.
O'Doherty's golf support connects neighbors
Good things can begin when people gather. A meal can bring old friends together. It can also give new friends a place to meet. O’Doherty’s Irish Grille offers a gathering place in downtown Spokane, across from Riverfront Park.
Its tournament sponsorship carried that spirit into a wider community effort. On the course, teams shared a day with fellow golfers and local supporters. In addition, the event gave them a common cause beyond the game.
A shared cause can help people see how they can make a difference. For example, learning about school costs can make the need for scholarships easier to understand. O’Doherty’s golf support helped bring attention to that purpose. We are grateful for its place in the sponsor community.
Helping students find a path after high school
Young people have different hopes for the future. Some want a college degree. Others plan to learn a trade. However, both paths can come with costs that a family cannot easily cover.
Scholarships can help close part of that gap. For example, an award can reduce what a student needs to pay for school. That help can also make it easier to focus on learning new skills.
Believe in Me supports college and career training through its scholarship program. Similarly, the Trufant Family Foundation helps students pursue higher education. Their missions place value on young people who have faced barriers to opportunity.
A scholarship does more than help with a bill. It can also show a student that others believe in their future. Above all, young people deserve a fair chance to put their strengths to work.
