Joe Andruzzi Foundation

Description

• The Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) was founded in 2008 to assist cancer patients and their families in making critical mortgage, rent and utility payments during financially challenging times so they can focus on what really matters getting better. JAF also provides patients with social and emotional support, and hosts numerous (Up)Beat outings each year, giving patients and families a much-needed day away from treatment. Joe Andruzzi, a former offensive guard with the New England Patriots, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Burkitts lymphoma in 2007 and was treated at Bostons Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Womens Hospital. Disease-free less than a year later, Joe, and his wife, Jen, dedicated their lives to supporting other cancer patients and funding life-saving research. The Joe Andruzzi Foundation is Joe and Jens second philanthropic effort; in 2003, they started the C.J. Buckley Brain Cancer Research Fund at Boston Childrens Hospital in memory of C.J. Buckley, a young man with an inoperable brain tumor who touched their hearts before losing his battle in 2002. The fund supports much-needed, innovative research into the molecular nature of pediatric brain tumors, novel treatment therapies and alternatives to multiple surgeries. The aim is to contribute to the growing knowledge base of available brain cancer cures, making treatment more widely available to all. In addition to JAFs financial assistance grants, portions of the Foundations fundraising efforts continue to support the fund.
