Massachusetts, here we come! As many know, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation started right here in the Bay State. Joe and Jen have shared that many quiet conversations were had following Joe’s own cancer journey and how they can help others. Then, their vision turned into action by gathering a small group of friends and family around the kitchen table in their Mansfield, MA, home to organize a gala fundraiser that would become a signature event and call to action for thousands through these past 15 years. Their work expanded exponentially and so did JAF’s footprint. Throughout this time, JAF headquarters has proudly called Massachusetts its home!
Since 2008, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) has been helping Massachusetts cancer patients and their families, providing financial help with everyday expenses. Joe and Jen Andruzzi are celebrating the 15th Anniversary of this mission by spending time with Massachusetts friends, donors, healthcare partners, and patients to share updates on the Foundation’s work and expanding resources. We look forward to seeing you as we travel the Bay State!
So many exciting details are still coming together, be sure to check back for updates and full details!
