This holiday season, Bob’s has once again teamed up with the Joe Andruzzi Foundation to help give New England-area cancer patients the gift of comfort and joy.
Three-time Super Bowl Champ, Joe Andruzzi, along with his wife Jen Andruzzi, President of the foundation, delivered a new mattress donated by Bob’s Discount Furniture to Joseph Schembri, an 83-year-old Methuen, Mass., resident.
Schembri was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and has been undergoing cancer treatment since 2004. The Joe Andruzzi Foundation, which offers financial help and support for cancer patients and their families in the New England area, has been supporting his cancer journey since 2017.
“This holiday season, we’re excited to bring some joy to patients like Joseph and his wife,” said Joe Andruzzi, Co-Founder and Chief Engagement Officer of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. “It’s truly special to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these families especially around the holidays, and it warms our hearts to give them a memorable day and comfortable night’s rest.”
The Joe Andruzzi Foundation kicked off their Giving Tuesday fundraising campaign at Bob’s in Franklin, Mass., in early December. The foundation raised $62,000 and Bob’s matched all donations up to $25,000. Additionally, for every $5,000 raised, Bob’s donated a mattress to cancer patients in need.
In total, 10 mattresses are set to be donated to patients across New England.
“Every holiday season we look forward to our partnership with the Joe Andruzzi Foundation” said Kurt Pappalardo, Director of Commercial Sales, Bob’s Discount Furniture. “Bob’s is proud to support the Foundation’s mission, and to help cancer patients in New England rest comfortably so they can focus on their health.”
