Evviva Trattoria Diners Help Raise Critical Funds for Cancer Patients

Since early 2023, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation has benefited from a unique partnership with Evviva Trattoria’s Wrentham location, where a private dining room was dedicated in the Foundation’s name. Through this collaboration, more than $22,000 in donations have been generated to support the Joe Andruzzi Foundation’s mission of providing financial assistance to New England cancer patients and their families.

Founded in 2008 by former New England Patriots offensive guard and cancer survivor Joe Andruzzi and his wife Jen, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation has granted more than $13 million in aid to over 45,000 individuals facing the financial burdens of cancer treatment. The funds raised through the Wrentham dining initiative contribute directly to that impact.

“We’re incredibly thankful to Evviva Trattoria for turning everyday celebrations into life-changing support,” said Jen Andruzzi, President & CEO of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. “Their dedication – and the generosity of their guests – provides real relief to families when they need it most.”

A portion of proceeds from every event held in the Joe Andruzzi Foundation Private Dining Room is donated to the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. Whether for wedding rehearsals, corporate events, or milestone gatherings, guests who book the space make a tangible difference in the lives of local families.

The partnership is part of a broader charitable effort, through which Evviva Trattoria has contributed more than $25,000 to regional nonprofits, including the Joe Andruzzi Foundation.
