Sponsorship opportunities are also available and additional information and ticket links can be found at www.onecau.se/latenight26. 

Guests can expect an unforgettable evening featuring a fresh, podcast-inspired format that brings the Joe Andruzzi Foundation’s (JAF) mission to life through the people and moments behind it. Throughout the night, guests will hear meaningful conversations and powerful stories centered on Care, Community and Hope, along with live and silent auctions and signature Late Night entertainment.

“Every person and family we have the privilege of supporting has a story, and those stories are what continue to inspire us every day,” said Joe Andruzzi, Co-Founder and Chief Engagement Officer, Joe Andruzzi Foundation. “This year’s Late Night is about bringing some of those experiences to life, celebrating the incredible community behind our mission, and coming together to make sure cancer patients and their families know they don’t have to face the financial challenges of a diagnosis alone.”

JAF will also recognize the Foundation’s 2026 “Game Changers” for their commitment to the Foundation and their efforts to help patients and their families. Honorees are: David Santoro, a longtime member of Team JAF who has raised more than $63,000 for the Foundation; Mark Theodore, a licensed clinical social worker and oncology social worker at Saint Anne’s Hospital who has directly connected more than 160 patients to JAF assistance programs; Lawson Charitable Foundation, a JAF partner since 2022 that has provided more than $520,000 in support of JAF Assistance Programs; Maine Cancer Foundation, a dedicated partner since 2021 that has helped expand JAF’s reach and support for cancer patients across Maine; and Well Told, a longtime partner that has provided more than $60,000 in cumulative in-kind support since 2019.

“This year’s Game Changers show that there are so many ways to make a difference for patients and families facing cancer,” said Jen Andruzzi, Co-Founder, President and CEO, Joe Andruzzi Foundation. “Whether it’s connecting patients with critical resources, raising funds, building partnerships or helping us reach new communities, each of these honorees has played an important role in moving our mission forward.”

The evening will also feature the return of globe-trotting British auctioneer Jacqueline Towers-Perkins, who will bring her wit and signature energy to the evening’s fundraising efforts.

Rising singer-songwriter Izzy Escobar, whose original music is featured on The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack, will take the Late Night stage to close out the evening with a special musical performance.

Proceeds from the event will support the Joe Andruzzi Foundation’s work providing financial assistance to New England cancer patients and their families, helping ease the burden of essential household expenses while patients undergo treatment.

About The Joe Andruzzi Foundation:
The Joe Andruzzi Foundation is committed to providing help, hope, and a reason to smile, for New England cancer patients and their families by contributing financial support when it is needed most. Founded in 2008 by former New England Patriots three-time Super Bowl Champion offensive guard Joe Andruzzi and his wife Jen, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation grew out of Joe’s own successful battle with cancer. In 2007, Joe’s football career abruptly ended when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Burkitt’s lymphoma. Disease-free less than a year later, Joe and Jen chose to dedicate their lives towards solving the financial distress a cancer diagnosis can cause in the lives of patients and families.
