Congratulations to Ann Nemanic and her team at GO Laurel Highlands on another fantastic Annual Dinner last night at Trailside Landing Event Center in Connellsville! 🎉 The food was incredible, it was wonderful to see so many friendly faces, and the program was very well put together.

A big congratulations to all of the scholarship and award recipients—so well deserved.

Congratulations to Shop With A Cop, NPO (SWAC) on another amazing Golf Outing! On Monday morning, over 200 golfers enjoyed a beautiful day on the course, a steak dinner, and great prizes—all while supporting this incredible cause.

Prior to the shotgun start, SWAC Founder Pennsylvania State Trooper Stephen Limani and colleague Trooper Tristan Tappe accepted a check from GOAL Magazine Chief Production Manager, Tawnya Rockwell. The funds represent the net proceeds from GOAL Magazine/Shop with a Cop being chosen as a beneficiary of Live! Casino’s Charitable Community Bingo.

A huge thank you to Live Casino Pittsburgh for selecting our organization as a beneficiary and for always finding creative ways to give back and strengthen the Westmoreland County community. Thanks to everyone who supported our Gala in the spring and those who joined us for Mega Money Bingo - Charitable Community Bingo, the total proceeds raised from these two events will allow more than 175 children in our area—who have been victims of crime or unfortunate circumstances the opportunity to shop with a police officer before Christmas or Prom through the SWAC program.

📅 Save the date for our 7th Annual GOAL Magazine Gala benefiting Shop with a Cop on Friday, April 17, 2026, at The VENUE at Live! Casino.
