Executive Director
Andi Hall
Executive Director Andi Hall, has always embraced the term ‘gratitude’ and she is excited to share her vision with the Grateful Friends family.
A Boston University graduate, Andi brings decades of experience in marketing, public relations and event planning, having worked in both radio and the music & entertainment industry.
In addition, Andi left a successful footprint in fundraising while on the Development Committee for non-profit, ‘Room to Grow’ in Boston, as their key ‘go to’ person for their annual gala auction. She has, in recent years, been sole proprietor of her own boutique marketing agency in Beverly, catering to a number of small businesses in the community, helping them to reach their marketing goals.
An idea person with a multitude of professional connections, Andi aspires to discover fresh, creative methods to boost fundraising efforts and to build brand awareness toward Grateful Friends. Andi’s past responsibility as a full-time caregiver for her own mother, who, for three years, courageously battled stage 4 ovarian cancer, left an imprint on Andi’s heart. She will always remember how she leaned on the warmth, compassion and kindness of caring friends. The enormous responsibility of tending to her mother‘s deteriorating health, while balancing a career and motherhood, solidified Andi’s realization that there was a definitive need for relief and support for adult cancer patients and their caregivers.
A Brookline native, Andi has always been drawn to the North Shore, spending summers as a child in Gloucester and Rockport. Like most Bostonians, she loves sports. She also has a deep appreciation for music and the arts, and is also a vocalist and performer in her spare time. Andi resides in Beverly and her pride and joy is her son, Ty.
She has a soft spot for all animals and can often be seen tossing a carrot or two to the yard bunnies.
