Retired New England Patriots player Joe Andruzzi spent time with scholars at Alma’s Ottiwell Campus on Friday as appreciation for the school community’s fundraising efforts for the player’s charitable foundation.
The Ottiwell school community raised $1,000 for the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, a nonprofit that directly supports cancer patients and their families, as part of their Pink Out Day event in October. Scholars and staff were also encouraged to wear pink to show their support for Faustina De Pina, a beloved Alma teacher, who has been courageously fighting breast cancer this school year.
Joe Andruzzi is a former Patriots three-time Super Bowl Champion offensive guard. He created his foundation in order to help New England cancer patients and their families through a variety of grants, including household assistance, extraordinary needs, food security assistance, transportation assistance and additional resources.
