McAvoy has purchased 400 pies from Stop & Shop to distribute among local organizations in the Greater Boston Area, including the New England Center and Home for Veterans, St. Francis House, Pine Street Inn, Haley House, the Brighton Marine Center, and more. Additionally, the 24-year-old defenseman will deliver 300 pairs of Boston Bruins Winter Classic Socks, donated by the Boston Bruins ProShop powered by '47, to Pine Street Inn.
On top of the pies and socks, McAvoy will help deliver mattresses, recliners, and pillows, donated by Bob's Discount Furniture, to the Brighton Marine Center and Fisher House Boston. The donation will include 15 Synergy Twin mattresses, five Showtime Home Theater power recliners, and 15 Bob O-Pedic Essential pillows.
This year marks the 14th consecutive season that a Bruins player has donated and delivered pies on Thanksgiving. The tradition initially started with Aaron Warddonating turkeys in 2008 and has since been carried on by former Bruins captain Zdeno Chara(2018-2020), Matt Beleskey(2015-17), Gregory Campbell(2010-14), and Dennis Wideman(2009).
