Fairway and AWI offered three residential housing “Boot Camps” to train real estate professionals on how to handle the home purchase needs of active duty and military veterans. In addition to the “Boot Camps,” the Massachusetts branches of Fairway and AWI hosted the Lead The Way 5K Boston, a national fundraising tour supporting AWI and its mission to ease the transition between military and civilian life. The event raised $2,000 to be donated directly to AWI.
