Boston Bruins players' partners and children joined together to volunteer for a green cause with the Esplanade Association. The non-profit works to maintain the green space around the Charles River Esplanade and create an inclusive park environment for the Boston community.

The volunteering event saw Elias Lindholm’s wife and their son Levi, Brad Marchand’s wife Katrina Marchand and Joonas Korpisalo’s wife Anna Korpisalo, Jeremy Swayman’s girlfriend Alessandra Marie, and Max Jones’s wife Alexa Katherine spending a lovely morning helping to plant saplings.

The group gathered on Boston's Esplanade near the Hatch Shell, planting different types of saplings that are set to bloom beautifully come spring. The Bruins Better Halves Instagram account shared snapshots of the event on the social media platform.

“Spent this gorgeous morning on the Esplanade getting the Hatch Shell planted and ready to bloom this spring! 🌸 @bostonbruinsfoundation @esplanadeinboston”, the caption of the post read.

Elias Lindholm's wife Annica also shared some highlights on her Instagram stories. In one of the pictures, Levi can be seen sitting in a blue wheelbarrow. She also shared moments from the sapling plantation activities on her stories.

Boston Bruins Foundation to host “Puck and Paddles” for fans to play with Bruins stars

The Boston Bruins Foundation had a busy October, raising funds and engaging fans through various raffles, auctions, and events. Throughout the month, visitors stopping by Loge 5/6 at TD Garden had the chance to enter raffles and win exclusive Bruins prizes.

While October's spooky season has ended, the foundation announced that fans could expect even more raffles, auctions, and mystery sales of Bruins memorabilia this November. One of the foundation's major upcoming events is the "Pucks and Paddles" auction where fans can bid to play ping pong with Bruins players, alumni, and local celebrities.

The auction will be supporting the 2024 David Pastrnak and 98.5 The Sports Hub event. The bidding will be open until 7:00 pm EST on Nov. 12, 2024.

Last week, the foundation also celebrated a successful fundraiser at a Bruins game. The Pan-Mass Challenge team and the Bruins Foundation presented a check for $281,000 raised for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Top fundraisers included Bruins alumni Bob Sweeney, Charlie Jacobs, and Pedal Partner Kieran.
