Our own Douglas Comin was featured in Ameriprise's "Long Term Goal Story" feature this week. Ameriprise asked for team members to relay some long term goals that they have achieved. As you can see from the photo, Doug met one of his goals!
While being in the business of helping clients maintain and realize their financial goals, we try to stay focused on our own personal goals as well.
We need to remind ourselves occasionally to practice the advice that we give to others, not only from a financial standpoint, but from the larger perspective. Setting and meeting goals gives a sense of joy and purpose, an acknowledgement that hard work and dedication to a cause will get you where you want to be.
Whether your goal is to retire early, pay off your mortgage or learn to play an instrument, it's your goal. Stay focused and dream big!
Today’s the perfect time to make the next right step toward your long-term financial goals.
Great day yesterday at Champion Lakes Golf Course supporting Shop With A Cop! Pictured below is Ed with Steve Limani- the man behind this great non-profit. Steve coordinates all of the various fundraisers along with a team of volunteers that he has established. The various fundraisers throughout the year raise money that goes directly to the big week in December. To date, over 1000 children that have been victims of crime or other unfortunate circumstances have been taken shopping during the Christmas season!
We can't say enough how much we love the mission of this organization that gives some hope and happiness to children who have had their share of unfortunate circumstances. We also know that the police officers who take the kids shopping get as much happiness, if not more than, the children.
We are proud to support Shop With A Cop, NPO and look forward to being partners for many years to come.
Wishing you a safe, fun and relaxing Labor Day!
We were honored to support such a great cause, that is the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation, at the DNA 5th Annual charity golf outing! DNA (Dedicated Nursing Associates) was able to donate the proceeds in the amount of $31000 to the foundation!
Gaskey & Associates was represented by a foursome including our Director of Operations, Chad Zucco; Westmoreland County Coroner Ken Bacha; Jerry Vernail - PA State Attorney General's office; and Kevin Fajt, Mayor of South Greensburg Boro.
The event was held at the Meadowink Golf Club in Murrysville. The organizers of the event did a terrific job with everything from the live music, awesome food and all day fundraising events. It was a great day for a great cause!

How strong is your faith?
As 2020 comes to a close, we want to wish all of you a much better 2021. We hope for a happy, joyful and healthy New Year for all of you.
While 2020 has been challenging to say the least, it has given us time to reflect on what we all should be grateful for and what truly matters. Although this year has brought heartache, sickness and even the loss of loved ones for so many, we all fought through. We fought with hope for a better tomorrow, hope for an end to suffering of our loved ones and the hope that this will not last forever.
Every year at this time we all look forward to the New Year looming. It is our human nature to be inspired and believe that the best is yet to come. Often times it works out, sometimes, not so much. Even in this year that we all want to forget, we are willing to bet that something awesome has happened to you this year. So tonight when 2020 hopefully becomes a distant memory, think of the good that you had in 2020 and how you are going to build on that to make 2021 the best year ever. Seek out the good, celebrate the milestones and goals and be your best you. You deserve it.
We have said it many times before but it’s worth repeating - our clients and friends become family to us. We continuously learned and adapted throughout the year to the point online meetings were a norm. We had to adapt to not seeing some of our clients in person which is one of the highlights of our day. There was a lot of uncertainty this year and we wanted each and every one of you to remain informed and assured that everything is going to be OK. We wanted you to know that while you were handling what 2020 was throwing at you personally, our team remained committed to your goals and your future so that was one less thing that you had to worry about.
2020 certainly didn’t go as planned, but we were so fortunate to be able to share our future with you. We were able to announce our new building that began on a piece of paper and is currently what you see in the photos below. This building is not about Gaskey & Associates, this building is about you - our family of clients. Our clients deserve the best and we truly hope that you will enjoy all of the great things we have in store for not only 2021, but years to come. We look forward to seeing all of you walk through our doors again, with no mask and no worries as we get back to our normal lives.
We can’t thank all of you enough for not only your friendship, but for trusting in us for all of your financial needs. One thing that will not change in 2021 is our complete commitment to each and every one of you. There is no greater joy than to see all of you happy and successful.
The best is yet to come.
More progress on our building as it is beginning to take shape! In this photo, Ed stopped by over the weekend to see the progress up close.
And, how about that view of the snow capped Laurel Mountains?!
While the winter storm put a temporary stop to the work, we are happy to see the framing starting to take shape! Lots of good things to look forward to in 2021.
While we cannot wait to welcome you into our new location, in the meantime remember that we are currently right across Route 30 in the Berkshire Building.
People have many questions and concerns about their finances and goals as the year comes to a close. Feel free to give us a call and we would be honored to help you navigate your financial future.

The below photos are updates from different angles of the building process. The next steps should include the glass (which there is a lot of as you can see!) and getting the building sealed up. There will also be some exterior work to start, while the interior is getting the final decisions on placement of lighting, fixtures, etc. Everything is moving along nicely!
