After more than 25 years at Abacus, our friend and colleague, Susan McCants, is retiring.

In her time as a financial advisor, Susan always put her clients first, collaborated with her team members, and lived the Abacus culture.

Celebrating Susan could not have been possible in just one day, so we took an afternoon to play laser tag as a firm and invited clients, family, and friends to celebrate in our office.

We will miss Susan dearly as she is off to spend more time with family, particularly her grandchildren.

Join us in keeping South Carolina's skies safe for our feathered friends!
Every autumn, millions of migratory birds travel through our beautiful state under the cover of darkness. Unfortunately, bright artificial lights from our homes and businesses can disorient them, which imperils their lives.
You can make a massive difference with one simple habit: Turn out your lights from 11 PM to 6 AM between August and October.
Here is how you can participate in Lights Out South Carolina:
• Flip the switch: Turn off all unnecessary outdoor lighting before heading to bed.
• Close the blinds: Keep indoor light from spilling outside by drawing your curtains or shades.
• Go smart: Utilize motion sensors or timers for essential security lights so they only come on when needed.
Let’s protect the wildlife that makes South Carolina so special. Spread the word, dim the lights, and help save lives tonight!

The Abacus team “popped over” to the Columbia Museum of Art to listen to a favored South Carolina artist, Paul Yanko, discuss his artistic process.

Paul was recently commissioned to create a piece for the Columbia Museum of Art's grand staircase honoring former Executive Director Della Watkins. Paul shared his creative process while we enjoyed this spectacular addition to the CMA collection.

Homework assignment? Contrast and compare Abacus’s Yanko (pictured last) with the Museum’s Yanko.

Joining other firms across the Midlands for the United Way of the Midlands Volunteer Week, the Abacus team spent an afternoon volunteering at our local Harvest Hope Food Bank.

We spent our time packing summer feeding kits for students who rely on free school lunches during the school year, so they do not have to worry about food during their summer vacation

-

Not only did our team enjoy helping the children of our community, we noticed that volunteering was refreshing and stress-free.

"Naturally, the dialogue surrounding activism and volunteerism centers on how others will benefit from volunteer work that you do. But years of research demonstrate that there are benefits for volunteers themselves."

Read more about how you and others will benefit from volunteer work on the NAMI blog, linked below.

Abacus celebrates Earth Day throughout the Year!

Abacus’s Sustainability Team’s mission is to reduce the firm’s environmental impact, support responsible uses of resources in our firm and our community, and weave sustainability practices into all we do.

Each year, the Abacus team wanders outside our four doors to support a local sustainability effort. This year, we partnered with SC Adopt-A-Stream at Maxcy Gregg Park for a hands-on water testing experience. We now have a deeper understanding of how local policies affect the natural habitats in our neighborhoods.

From our multifaceted recycling strategy (we have a Mill recycler!) to enrolling our lot as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat to our many policies to offset our carbon footprint and plastic use, all of us at Abacus strive to steward our natural resources for a better future.
