We are so excited to be going to CONNECTICUT November 13 to 16 and December 4 and 5!
Since 2008, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) has been helping New England cancer patients and their families, providing financial help with everyday expenses. The Foundation has granted more than $1.5 million in assistance to Connecticut residents facing a cancer diagnosis to remove financial barriers that might prevent a cancer patient from pursuing or completing potentially life-saving treatment.
Joe and Jen Andruzzi are celebrating the 15th Anniversary of this mission by spending time with Connecticut friends, donors, healthcare partners, and patients to share updates on the Foundation’s work and expanding resources.
See below for some of our stops! (schedule is still being finalized so be sure to check back!)
