About The Joe Andruzzi Foundation

The Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) is committed to providing help, hope, and a reason to smile, for New England cancer patients and their families by contributing financial support when it is needed most. JAF offers support to cancer patients of any age, any type of cancer in active treatment by providing support through Financial Assistance, Food Security, Transportation Assistance, Extraordinary Needs, and (Up)Beat Opportunities for self-care. Founded in 2008 by former New England Patriots three-time Super Bowl Champion offensive guard Joe Andruzzi and his wife Jen, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation grew out of Joe's own successful battle with cancer and the couple's ongoing work with young cancer patients. In 2007, Joe's football career abruptly ended when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Burkitt's lymphoma. Disease-free less than a year later, Joe and Jen chose to dedicate their lives towards solving the financial distress a cancer diagnosis can cause in the lives of patients and families. Since inception, the Foundation has helped 40,000 patients and families throughout New England.
