RE&FA is committed to giving back to the Greater Boston Community. Throughout the year we participate in community service activities that benefit our charitable partners.
Meet Our Charitable Partners
RE&FA Signature Events
The RE&FA Charitable Golf & Tennis Tournament is an annual fundraiser dedicated to supporting our charitable partners: Breaktime, FamilyAid Boston, and The BASE. Held each July, the tournament brings together more than 120 members of the real estate and finance industry for a day of networking, competition, and giving back. Since its inception, the tournament has raised more than $140,000 for local charities.
Our commitment to giving back extends throughout the year. At the RE&FA Commercial Brokerage Achievement Awards in March and the RE&FA Gala in October, we shine a spotlight on our charitable partners, helping raise awareness of their missions while encouraging continued support from industry leaders. Together, these signature events create meaningful opportunities to connect, give back, and amplify the impact of organizations making a difference in our community.
Speaker Donation
As a thank you to our speakers for sharing their time, expertise, and insights with RE&FA members, RE&FA makes an annual charitable donation on behalf of our speakers to our charitable partners: Breaktime, FamilyAid Boston, and The BASE. This initiative allows us to recognize the valuable contributions of our speakers while supporting organizations that are making a meaningful difference in our community.
Emerging Leaders Community Service Activities
The Emerging Leaders Committee participates in a variety of community service initiatives throughout the year, including clothing drives, fundraising, and other volunteer opportunities that support local communities.
Annual Holiday Happy Hour Gift Card Drive
Each year, the RE&FA Holiday Happy Hour brings members together for an evening of networking, celebration, and giving back. As part of the event, we host a Gift Card Drive benefiting our charitable partners, giving members an opportunity to support local organizations during the holiday season.
The Annual Winter Walk
Each year, RE&FA actively participates in the Annual Winter Walk, joining members and community partners in the effort to raise awareness and funds to help end homelessness in Greater Boston. RE&FA proudly supports two of our charitable partners, Breaktime and FamilyAid Boston, as they fundraise for this important cause.
Members are invited to join RE&FA for a one-mile walk through Boston, bringing together housed and unhoused community members to walk side by side in solidarity. The event concludes with a shared meal and an opportunity to hear real stories that provide greater insight into the challenges facing individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Through our participation each year, RE&FA helps raise awareness, support our charitable partners, and create meaningful change in our community.
