Time for a charitable event break: you can go bowling with Josh Beckett (and a whole host of other random celebrities) tomorrow night, and help out sick little kids at the same time. Josh has picked up the banner previously carried by Nomar with the Nomar Bowl, and has turned it into the first ever Beckett Bowl, which will benefit the Josh Beckett Foundation for the children's hospital in Boston.
For a mere $10,000 donation, you can get your group of friends a lane at the event. Easy enough! And if that price tag is too steep, there's always the afterparty at Rain- which can be yours for the low-low price of $50 a person. Adrian Grenier's band the Honey Brothers will be playing at the afterparty- surely getting to witness that is worth the price of admission alone, right? Or, if partying at a bowling alley isn't your thing, you can always donate directly to Josh's foundation.
As Red Sox Monster noted back in July, Josh really loves him some celebrity bowling tournaments. I'm guessing this is because the Sox front office already turned down his request for a celebrity hunting tourney. ("Josh, just like we told Wakefield and Timlin, you can't kill animals for charity. Sorry.")
Josh talked with Hazel Mae about the even back in August- here's video of that:

I will be at the after party. Bowling was a little steep for me. But the party sounded good. It's great that he's taken this over. It was a lot of fun when Nomar had it. I'm expecting nothing short of a great time.
