The Future All Star Team (F.A.S.T.) is a branch of CAI-NJ comprised of young professionals in the industry on a mission to give back to our community through philanthropic initiatives. 2019 brought a newmission to complement our philanthropic e orts in the form of networking events to bridge the gap between the established generation and the younger generations throughout CAI. F.A.S.T. turned in a record-breaking year with its e orts of giving back.

At The Annual Spring Break Party F.A.S.T. generated over 700 lbs of food and over $1,000 in donations that were personally dropped o to the Ocean and Monmouth County Food Bank. Since April is generally a time where donations are low for the Food Bank, it was a very important and valuable donation for the organization. FOOD DRIVE

F.A.S.T. hosted the 5th Annual OIympics at Thompson Park in Monroe Twp., it was our largest Olympics yet in attendance and donations!!! Mohammed was a great sport in being turned into a human chicken with bird seed, feathers and a beak to spark donations. All proceeds were given to The Make-A-Wish Foundation totaling over $12,000. OLYMPICS

F.A.S.T. collected school supplies at The Annual Beach Party and at the CAI-NJ o ce, including: paper, pencils, binders, backpacks and many other supplies. These supplies were donated to children whose families are not fortunate enough to provide them with these necessary supplies. All donations were made to the Long Branch School District who were incredibly grateful for our e orts. SCHOOL SUPPLIES DRIVE
