Grateful Friends, an award-winning nonprofit that provides financial assistance to adult cancer patients in Middlesex and Essex counties, introduces a new Executive Director, Andi Hall, of Beverly.

I am ready to do my part!’ says Andi.
Andi Hall is replacing exiting Executive Director Kim Paratore, who will still be on board to coordinate the Grateful Friends December 1st Women’s Luncheon at Turner Hill, Ipswich. ‘Kim has been an extremely productive ED for Grateful Friends for the past three years, and she is moving on to pursue other ventures.
