Patrice Bergeron led a holiday toy shopping event on Monday that will benefit children in local hospitals who are unable to spend the holidays with their families.
Bergeron and teammates from the Bruins shopped for gifts at Target in Watertown. Donations from players and the Bruins Foundation made the purchases possible.
“It’s always special to come here and take an hour of your day,” said Bergeron. “To know that it goes a long way and it’s going to bring a lot of joy to kids that are in need and don’t get to spend Christmas at home…it’s special for us to be here and it’s easy to do.
