Just one year ago my friends invited me to
Mohegan Sun for their charities first ever Crackin' It Up fund-raiser. A night of fun turned into a year long partnership with an impressive organization. Kevin Youkilis
Hits for Kids is a non-profit that supports a number of children's causes in the Boston area. Saturday was their second annual Crackin' It Up fund-raiser at Mohegan Sun.
Hits for Kids founders Enza & Kevin Youkilis.
Funny man Mike O'Malley emceed for the night.
Event chairs Cynthia Wachs, Kathy Volpe and Michael Muldowney.
My favorite auction item - Low number license plates!
These are always in abundance at Crackin' It Up!
I've seen this auctioneer before and I am always impressed with his talent. I really wish I could speak as fast as him!
Crackin' It Up is more of a comedy show than anything else.
This years entertainment included a Family Feud style game between the Francona and Youkilis families.
The Feud off was hosted by Nickelodeon hall of famer, Marc Summers.
Carolyn & Mike Youkilis getting their game on.
Terry Francona.
You guessed it, they won!
How do you top a Red Sox Family Feud? ...By calling unsuspecting kids up from the audience!
Remember musical chairs? When the music stops and you're the one with the pie, it goes in your face!
This little guy didn't wait for the music to stop, he just went for it! The crowd was dying...
I can't get over her eyelids here - ha!
None of the kids chickened out either! Way to go!
Anti-aging face mask? No, just whipped cream...
Kevin ended up being the runner up.
Marc Summers then asked the boy if he wanted to throw it at Kevin, or if Kevin could throw it at him...
Bulls-eye!
What a good sport!
Surprise guest artist none other than former Red Sox,
Bronson Arroyo.
They rocked out!
Everyone was amazed at his array of enormous talent.

There is nothing that says Boston better than the Charles Regatta! Well, except for the marathon... This past weekend was the 2008 Head of the Charles Regatta. With thousands of competitors and their families here for the week, Boston's in full force!
Another Boston favorite of mine is
Hotel Commonwealth. Located in the heart of Kenmore Square, Hotel Commonwealth certainly never sleeps! As the official hotel of the Regatta, Hotel Commonwealth hosted a tent party for some special clients and guests.
The food was provided by
Eastern Standard.
If you've never been to Eastern Standard, you must go! It's connected to Hotel Commonwealth and they have a GREAT lunch and were voted one of the BEST bars in America by Esquire Magazine! Did I mention their oyster bar?
It's never too cold out for champaign!
Molly Courcy and Al Stankus of Boston.
Boston College.
What a great looking family!
Coffee or cider?
Mo Kahlil, Christina Mack, Leonard Lee and Peter Mack of Boston.
Andre and Jamie Coelho of Boston.
Not sure what he was going for but I love this picture!
