The Paper Store Joins Joe Andruzzi Foundation to Help Cancer Patients

BROOKFIELD, CT– The Paper Store is partnering with The Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) from April 14 through April 24 to raise funds for emotional and financial support for cancer patients and their families, according to a release.

The Paper Store, which has 59 stores across New England, including one in the TJ Maxx plaza in Brookfield, is selling JAF decals for a $1, $3 or $5 donation. All proceeds will go to the Foundation.

“Partnerships like this one with The Paper Store are invaluable because it allows us to be able to help even more cancer patients and their families,” said Joe Andruzzi, Foundation President. “We can’t thank The Paper Store enough for not only fundraising for the Foundation, but for helping us provide a little bit of relief for families whose lives are affected by cancer.”

Team JAF, the Foundation’s 2016 Boston Marathon runners, will run 26.2 miles to raise funds for JAF and share JAF’s (Up)Beat philosophy, which stresses the power of a positive attitude during difficult times. On Marathon Monday, April 18, The Paper Store will share live updates about Team JAF on their Facebook and Instagram.

“The Paper Store is proud to support the Joe Andruzzi Foundation and their commitment to help cancer patients and their families. As a family-owned and operated business, giving back to the community and helping others is a very important part of who The Paper Store is,” said Tom Anderson, COO of The Paper Store. “We all know someone who has been affected by cancer and we hope that we can help support the Joe Andruzzi Foundation and educate our customers about all the wonderful work they do with families throughout the Northeast.”
