Children and adults affected by heart disease will be invited in for the game and will take part in various fan experiences throughout the evening, including a blood pressure screening booth hosted by Tufts Medical Center. Guests of the Bruins will participate in activities such as bench assistant, high five lines, and rides on the ice resurfacer. All in-game fundraising, including the sale of mystery autograph pucks and the 50/50 raffle, will benefit the American Heart Association. Boston Bruins coaches, broadcasters and team personnel will be showing their support by wearing red heart health pins.
