In 2007, Mansfield resident and former New England Patriot Joe Andruzzi was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Burkitt’s lymphoma.

Andruzzi eventually beat the disease, after severe and aggressive chemotherapy treatments, but the impact it had on his life was hardly just physical.

A year later, he started the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, which is dedicated to helping those with cancer pay for their utilities while they deal with the fallout.

The golf tournament, now in its fourth year, is a way for the three-time Super Bowl champion to help raise money for those families.

This year, the tournament will be held at Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy on June 18. The event will feature New England Patriots as celebrity golfers and a golf ball helicopter drop.
