Welcome friends!Thank you for joining us for our 3rd annual Fall Fundraiser: the Sailing Heals Jazz Brunch and Auction!
If you read our recent newsletter, you have the story! 2014 was an incredible year for us. As you can see, the numbers add up to a fantastic year of healing sails!
680 VIPS Hosted110 Host Captains 33 Days of sailing 17 Ports involved 7 States 0 Rain days!
= Great year!
These numbers are made possible by our volunteer Host Captains, generous Private Donors (like you!), our marvelous Founding Sponsor Panerai and our terrific volunteers!
But, even with all of this good will, we would not have provided over 1200 VIPs in the last 3 years with memorable sea side lunches and incredible escapes at sea if it wasn’t for essential fundraisers like today! So, a big thank you to all of our auction donors, our advertisers, our terrific guests speaker Joe Andruzzi, and our talented musicians: Greg, Tracy & Evan!
Mostly, thank YOU for attending today and for being a part of our Sailing Heals family!

Joe Andruzzi and the Joe Andruzzi Foundation
Joe Andruzzi was an NFL Offensive Guard who played for the New England Patriots from 2000-2004.
In 2001, Andruzzi and his wife, Jen, were introduced to C.J. Buckley, who had an inoperable brain tumor. The families became very close and, therefore, it was devastating when C.J. died late in 2002. Always driven to help others in need, the
couple launched the C.J. Buckley Brain Cancer Research Fund at Children’s Hospital.
On May 30, 2007, Andruzzi was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Burkitt’s lymphoma, predicted to double in size in just 24 hours. The family relocated back to New England where Andruzzi had an aggressive form of chemotherapy treatment over three months at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Andruzzi’s last treatment was on August 6, 2007 after which he spent the following year at home in recovery.
After completing treatment, the Andruzzi family founded the Joe Andruzzi Foundation in 2008. They are committed to tackling cancer’s impact by providing financial assistance for patients and their families as well as funding pediatric brain cancer research.
Patriot Great Troy Brown, Trisha Boisvert and Board Members Dudley Welch and Rick Fishkin enjoy the “Guy’s Sail.”
Special thanks to former New England Patriots owner and huge Pats fan, Mrs. Ruth Orthwein, for attending today’s event!

“Sailing Heals is awesome. We had such a great time thanks to you and your team. You may not know, but for those people (like me) suffering from tinnitus (constant ear ringing) sailing is VERY therapeutic. Being outside with the wind helps…Jane had so much fun, especially hanging out with Gary’s daughter Pamela. Gary and his wife Andrea are very generous and are grateful they participate and invite us on Valiant!” - Bill R. – Boston Wicked Strong Survivor
“Last Friday’s Sailing Heals event was the perfect outing for our cancer survivors and their family members. The exhilaration of sailing on the magnificent boats with the “wind in our hair and not a care in the world” was the best antidote for what “ails us!” The feedback for our participants was a cry of “what a fabulous adventure! When can we do this again?” Thanks to you, the skippers and all the volunteers who made it possible!” – Karrie, Fighting Chance
“Once again you created a day of awesomeness!!! What a great group of survivors and support VIPS!!! OMG!! It was a beautiful day and so meaningful to me…I was able to give back to my two biggest supporters…I was able to share with them that light truly does come out of darkness…there can be good that comes from cancer….We were able to meet and talk with other survivors and their families. And then (Host Captains) Peg and Ken…OMG!!! They are the nicest people. To see and experience the goodness of people when there is so much sadness and negativity in the world…to escape all that on the ocean and listen only to the sails and the waves…well that is just freakin’ awesome!” – Kim H., Nurse and Survivor
We’re happy to give a lift to
Sailing Heals’ VIPs!
