A Night to Remember: Raising Over $20,000 for AWI in Morton Grove, Illinois

This remarkable achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and passion of our Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation team, led by Carrie Reznicek.

The event was made extra special thanks to Dan DiMaria, not only a mortgage professional and local Mayor but also the drummer for the band Face the Music, who rocked the stage while funds poured in. Alongside them was another talented band, The Mosquitos, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of this incredible outdoor concert.

We were honored to host Michael Tellerino of K-9s for Veterans along with three veterans who shared powerful stories of how service dogs have transformed their lives. One veteran moved the entire crowd to tears, reminding us all of the life-saving impact these four-legged battle buddies have on our veterans.

With perfect weather, great music, and a heartfelt sense of community, the night was nothing short of magical. We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended and made this event such a success, donating every penny of the proceeds back to AWI.

A special thanks to all our Chicagoland teammates, Face the Music, The Mosquitos, and the veterans who joined us. Together, we’re making a difference, one service dog at a time.
