"We are results driven. We measure success based on outcomes, not inputs. If we don’t move the needle for the client, we haven’t succeeded."

Kevin Youkilis’ Hits for Kids is a charitable organization founded by Boston Red Sox All Star infielder Kevin Youkilis.  Hit for Kids is dedicated to rallying local and corporate support for charities and organizations focused on the health and well-being of children. The charity teams up with existing community-based children's charities and medical research programs in New England and in Kevin's hometown of Cincinnati, to help them raise money and awareness.

Hits For Kids brought BHPI3 in to help develop corporate partnerships, increase visibility and raise money to allow the nonprofit to impact a greater number of children. 

We’ve supported the charity’s events and brought other celebrities into the mix to help Kevin raise money and awareness.  Through our contacts we’ve gotten former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, then-Celtic Brian Scalabrine, ABC News anchor George Stephanopolous and Comedian Dane Cook to help the charity.   We’ve also helped them expand their network through digital and social media.

We’ve also pulled in a fun corporate sponsorship for the charity that will be announced during the 2011 baseball season.

We’ve got a great batting average for Kevin and the kids.

Hits For Kids raises money and awareness for programs such as, Christopher’s Haven, which works with pediatric cancer patients and their families; Birthday Wishes’, which makes birthday wishes of homeless children come true, Nativity Prep School’s educational programs for underprivileged children; The Italian Home for Children, which works with severely abused children to help them recover and rebuild their lives; Lovelane, which runs a special needs horseback riding program that focuses on improving independence, therapy goals and building confidence in children’s lives; and, the Joslin Pediatric Health Services, which does groundbreaking work on youth diabetes.   You can read more about Kevin Youkilis Hits For Kids at www.youkskids.org.
