The collaboration marks the firm’s first athlete partnership with a youth martial artist, highlighting shared values of perseverance, leadership, and advocacy.
At just 15-years-old , Gabby has already established herself as one of the most accomplished junior competitors in the country.

We’re honored to support her journey.”
Through the partnership, Gabby will serve as an official Youth Athlete Ambassador for Edgar Snyder & Associates, appearing in select firm campaigns, charity events, school safety initiatives, and community outreach programs. The sponsorship will help support her training, travel, and participation in national and international martial arts competitions for the 2026 season.
Gabby Viola expressed her excitement about the partnership:
“I’m proud to represent a Pittsburgh company that has been helping families for over 40 years. Edgar Snyder & Associates inspires me because they stand up for people, and that’s what karate has taught me—to stand up for myself and others. I’m grateful for their support as I chase my dreams.”
The partnership aligns with the law firm’s long-standing commitment to the Pittsburgh region, where Edgar Snyder & Associates has invested in youth programming, safety education, and charitable causes for decades.
