MASHPEE, MASS. (WHDH) - Boston Bruins past and present were golfing for a cause in Mashpee Monday, raising money for the foundation of a fellow hockey player that has given out more than $1 million in the past two decades.
The players hit the links for the 18th annual golf tournament for the Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation, created to honor Bavis, a former Boston University hockey player who died on United Airlines Flight 175 in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The foundation has raised more than $1 million in scholarships for more than 130 people.
Participants said the foundation was in line with Bavis’ generosity in life.
“Off the ice everyone loved him, he was a selfless guy,” said Bruin Charlie McAvoy. “I’m just grateful to be invited every year.”
