Boston,
MA -- The 9th Annual Boston
Bruins Charity Auction was held at Mantra Restaurant
on Sunday, February 17, 2008 to benefit the Travis
Roy Foundation. The Boston Bruins Charity Auction is
an upscale event, held annually, which allows Bruins
fans to mix and mingle with the entire Boston Bruins
roster, coaching staff, management, and alumni.
The event boasted over
200 silent auction items that featured one-of-a-kind
sports memorabilia, gift certificates to top of the
line restaurants, and unique fan experience packages
-- just to name a few of the exciting prizes. The
highlight of the evening was the greatly anticipated
live auction. The live auction consisted of creative
packages such as team road trips or dinner with
Zdeno Chara. The live auction also allowed for
guests to bid on truly unique items such as a chance
for your child to take their favorite Bruin to
school for the day.
More than 250 people
attended the event which raised more than $150,000
for the Boston Bruins Foundation and the Travis Roy
Foundation. The $75,000 received from the event
completed the Bruins pledge of $100,000 to the
Travis Roy Foundation this season.

BEANPOT BENEFIT GOLF TOURNAMENT
Annual
Event 1997-2003
Hosted By
Bobby Orr
|
|
Mashpee, MA
-- The annual Beanpot Benefit Golf Tournament was held
from 1997-2003 at the exclusive Willowbend Golf Course
in Mashpee, MA. NHL legend Bobby Orr joined Travis Roy in hosting the event.
This event will be replaced by a new Boston event in
2005-06.
In addition to a
day of golf on the beautiful Willowbend golf course,
guests were treated to a first-class meal by the Willowbend
staff as well as auctions and raffles of items donated by
professional sports teams and local businesses. Items included gift certificates to numerous Boston
area restaurants and attractions, golf at some of the most
exclusive country clubs in Massachusetts, a weekend
getaway to Maine, and autographed sports memorabilia
including items from the Boston Red Sox, New England
Patriots, and MLB legend Yogi Berra as well as items
from numerous NHL stars including signed jerseys from Bobby Orr,
Wayne Gretzky
and 2003 NHL All-Star/BU alumnus Tom Poti.
The 7th and final event
fell on the 8th anniversary of Travis Roy's injury.
On October 20, 1995, only eleven seconds into the first
shift of his college hockey career, Travis shattered his
fourth cervical vertebra, severely damaging his spinal
cord. He is now a quadriplegic, with no feeling below his
shoulders and no movement in his legs or left arm. He
founded the Travis Roy Foundation in 1997 to financially
assist other survivors of spinal cord paralysis and to fund
vital research towards an eventual cure.
