5. Run to FORUM to Join the Joe Andruzzi Foundation’s Boston Marathon Watch Party & Fundraiser

Join Joe Andruzzi, President of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF), and his wife Jen, JAF Executive Director; RadioBDC afternoon show host, Adam 12, Marathon spectators and JAF supporters to cheer on thousands of brave runners sprinting to the finish line of the 117^th Boston Marathon – as well as the Foundation’s East Commerce Solutions-sponsored “Team JAF” – at a viewing party & fundraiser benefitting the Joe Andruzzi Foundation.

Situated mere steps from the finish line of the world’s most historic and difficult marathon courses, FORUM provides one of the best viewing spots on Boylston as it teams up with the JAF, RadioBDC and Michelob Ultra to host one of the city’s most meaningful Marathon Monday watch parties.

Not only will the event honor months of hard work, training and fundraising, it will also support the ongoing work of JAF, as 25 percent of proceeds raised through ticket sales benefit the Foundation. Join the party to celebrate the work of the Foundation with runners and fellow supporters and enjoy a selection of delicious bites, drinks, as well as plenty of giveaways. RadioBDC afternoon host Adam 12 will be broadcasting live from the party.

Tickets are $25, and can be purchased online and at the door. A limited number of VIP tickets reserved seating/complimentary food are also available for purchase. Twenty-five percent of ticket sales will benefit the Joe Andruzzi Foundation’s mission of assisting cancer patients and their families with critical mortgage, rent and utility payments during financially challenging times, and to fund pediatric brain cancer research.
