Here are some do-gooder props for this hot Hollywood couple! 

Neil Patrick Harris and beau David Burtka hosted this year's "Hooray For Hollygrove" fundraiser last night at the Norma Jean Gala in Hollygrove Theatre. The annual event marks a yearly effort to raise money to give underprivileged kids opportunities for "creating positive memories."

The pair also attended last year's fundraiser, and the children's charity continues to hold a personal place in their hearts.

"It's involving kids, and we have kids of our own," the HIMYM star told E! News. "It's good to align ourselves with organizations with something to do with what's important to us."

E! pal Burtka also distinguished the organization for its standout services, and pointed out some staggering statistics. "For a lot of kids in Hollywood, it's an amazing place to go to," he said. "In L.A. County alone, almost 900,000 kids are in poverty right now. It's a really important event to be a part of right now." 

Burtka said he has spent time with some of the children at the facility making stress reliever balls and made a cute, goodhearted jest at his partner: "Who needs that when you have a fiancé at home you can punch around!"
