Is this an adverbial clause?

Hi guys,

I have the following sentence:

He can dodge self-quarantine to deliver Christmas.

I don't know if "to deliver Christmas" is an example of a to-inf adverbial clause functioning as an adverb of purpose? Or which is the correct category for this clause?


Thanks in advance.
