Joe Andruzzi & Friends Tee Off For Seventh Annual Golf Tournament and Fundraiser

The summer tradition returns to Pinehills Golf Club in support of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation

On Monday, June 29, 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 annual Joe Andruzzi & Friends Golf Tournament for the seventh consecutive year. The much-anticipated summer golf tournament at Pinehills Golf Club will raise funds for JAF, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emotional and financial support to cancer patients and their families.

Presented by East Commerce Solutions, Inc., the golf tournament is one of two major fundraisers that has become a vital part of supporting the organization’s work and mission. Last year’s tournament raised over $250,000, and since starting the tournament seven years ago, the event has raised over $1 million – allowing JAF to assist over 1,400 cancer patients and their families.

Attendees taking part in the friendly competition will hit the greens at 10am, following registration and a continental breakfast. The event will wrap up with a cocktail reception, dinner, guest speaker, and a live auction.

ABOUT THE JOE ANDRUZZI FOUNDATION:

During Joe Andruzzi’s football career with the New England Patriots, Joe and his wife Jen were active locally visiting patients and families battling cancer. The Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) was founded shortly after losing a close family friend to the disease, whom Joe met during his time with the Patriots. Through the foundation, they have continued to help raise money and provide support for families battling cancer, where Joe’s own diagnosis and treatment of the disease has helped drive the mission of JAF forward. The Joe Andruzzi Foundation 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.
