Joe Andruzzi & Friends Hit the Links For Annual Golf Tournament and Fundraiser

On Monday, June 27, three-time Super Bowl Champion and cancer survivor Joe Andruzzi and his wife, Jen, Executive Director of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF), will host the eighth annual Joe Andruzzi & Friends Golf Tournament at Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth. The event of friendly competition will raise funds for JAF, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emotional and financial support to cancer patients and their families.

The summer golf tournament, which will once again be presented by East Commerce Solutions, Inc., has become an essential part of supporting the Foundation’s work and mission. Since the inception of the annual tournament in 2008, the event has raised over $1.3 million – allowing JAF to support over 1,880 cancer patients and their families. Last year’s tournament alone raised an impressive $265,000.

ABOUT THE JOE ANDRUZZI FOUNDATION:

The Joe Andruzzi Foundation, founded in 2008, is committed to 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, as well as funding pediatric brain cancer research. Joe Andruzzi, a former three-time Super Bowl winning offensive guard with the New England Patriots, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Burkitt’s lymphoma in 2007 and was treated at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Disease-free less than a year later, Joe dedicated his life to supporting other cancer patients and funding life-saving research. The Joe Andruzzi Foundation is Joe and his wife Jen’s second philanthropic effort; in 2003, they started the C.J. Buckley Brain Cancer Research Fund at Boston Children’s 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.
