ALEX AND ANI
Thanks to an incredible partnership with ALEX AND ANI | CHARITY BY DESIGN, patients, family members, supporters and friends of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation from around the globe can wear a “Live A Happy Life” Charm bangle on their arm as a reminder of our (Up)Beat philosophy and a source of inspiration every day.
Twenty-percent of the sale price from every bangle directly supports JAF’s mission of providing help, hope, and a reason to smile for cancer patients and their families by contributing financial and emotional support when it is needed most.
The Meaning Card that accompanies each bracelet perfectly encapsulates our mission. It states, “The path to living a happy life is inherently paved with hopefulness, and the journey offers no shortcuts. Hope cannot be fabricated or counterfeited – it is manifested in only those who first believe in its existence. You can find hope and you can give hope; we must always remember: as long as hope exists, the road to a happy life awaits.”

“Partnering with the Joe Andruzzi Foundation was a natural for us given our shared philosophy of approaching life – in spite of its challenges – with a positive attitude. When we learned about Joe Andruzzi’s story – how he battled and overcame an aggressive form of cancer all while maintaining a sense of humor and a positive outlook, and how he has since co-founded the Joe Andruzzi Foundation to help others battling cancer – we knew we shared a core guiding principle of applying the power of positive energy to make a difference.”
– Carolyn Rafaelian, Founder and CEO of ALEX AND ANI
