Allstate agency owner Anthony Gocella was recently named an Agent Hero by Allstate Insurance Company’s New York Region, and awarded a $500 grant for a local youth program.

Gocella donated the grant to the Hospice Foundation of Western New York to be used to support its Life Transition Center.

“As an Allstate agent, I believe it is my responsibility to demonstrate the Good Hands Promise in the community every single day,” said Gocella, whose office is located at 2875 Union Road, Cheektowaga.
