“The kids were so excited to have a chance to meet Kevin Youkilis,” said Hollister. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Kevin Youkilis and his Hits for Kids organization to help support great schools & children’s programs like Nativity Prep and the Italian Home for Children.”

On Monday, January 5th, Youkilis & Hollister met with students at Nativity Prep and gave each of the students gifts collected by Hollister’s Philanthropy Committee. Later in the afternoon, Youkilis delivered toys to children at the Italian Home for Children; a home for severely abused, neglected, and emotionally disturbed children in Jamaica Plain.
