Honey Dew Partners Again With Joe Andruzzi Foundation ​

LONDONDERRY, NH — The Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) is thrilled to announce that Honey Dew Donuts, New England’s largest locally owned coffee and donut shop chain, will yet again help the Foundation in their commitment to providing cancer patients and their families with financial and emotional support when it is needed most, according to a press statement. Through Oct. 22, 2017, Honey Dew Donuts will encourage their customers to support a worthy cause by purchasing a $1, $3, or $5 window decal that will be sold at participating locations throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. At the end of the fundraising campaign, Honey Dew will generously match the proceeds from the decals for their donation to JAF.

“We are so grateful for Honey Dew’s continued support of our mission, and the generosity the brand and its customers have shown us over the past several years,” said Joe Andruzzi, Foundation President. “This is the fourth year of our valued partnership, and we are hopeful to reach our grand total goal of $150,000 raised and help even more patients.” (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Londonderry NH Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)

The funds raised during the campaign will support JAF’s financial assistance program. This provides grants that help patient families with the everyday expenses, such as rent, mortgage payments, utility bills, car payments, which can be a burden during an already very difficult time.

"The decals represent our customers’ desire to help their fellow neighbors during difficult times," said Richard Bowen, president of Honey Dew Associates, Inc. "We are looking forward to another successful campaign with the Joe Andruzzi Foundation and bringing awareness to their cause. Their commitment to helping local families, many of whom are our customers, is something we support 100 percent and are proud to stand behind."

Since the first year of their partnership in 2014, Honey Dew franchisees and customers have raised $110,000 for JAF. With this being the largest goal to date of the partnership, Honey Dew and JAF asking supporters to join together to help reach their total campaign goal of $150,000.
