Great big thanks to our wonderful and generous community!

A big thanks to the generosity of the Realtors who came together to raise extra money for the Purple Heart Recipient and Retired Army Specialist, Tyler Schell.  Tyler was given a mortgage-free home April 8th, through the combined efforts of the Boot Campaign, the Military Warriors Support Foundation and Fairway Independent Mortgage.  On April 9th, we raised an additional $1,400 for Tyler, which will be matched by an anonymous donor.  Great big thanks to our wonderful and generous community!

Seating is limited, so advanced registration is necessary. Register online athttp://www.fairwaypa.com/reverse/ or by calling Dennis at 717-431-9299 x107.

April 14 - Highway Pickup along Rte 30
Each year, the Lancaster FAIRWAY Independent Mortgage team picks up litter along Hwy 30, between Rohrerstown Rd. and Centerville Rd, as a contribution to our community and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. This year, with the winds we've been having, it looks like we have a little work cut out for us! If you're looking for a way to help your community and want to join us, we'd love the help! Ask for Cheyenne at 717-431-9299 x102.
