Jon Broska, an Edward Jones financial advisor in Gainesville, recently received the firm’s exclusive Spirit of Caring Award designed to recognize those financial advisors who exemplify the values, culture and spirit of giving back.

Broska has demonstrated unyielding dedication to giving back, which has positively impacted his clients, colleagues and community. The award is given to only one financial advisor in each of the firm’s 334 regions and is determined by a vote of their peers.

"Edward Jones is a partnership. That structure is not just financial, it’s a philosophy," Broska said. "We work together, help each other and all share in the rewards of working with long−term individual investors. That brings out the best in everyone. I am humbled to be this year’s recipient of the Spirit of Caring Award." Broska was presented with the award at his Edward Jones regional meeting in The Villages.
