Local 25 — the union that will be filmed for Mark Wahlberg’s A&E show “Teamsters’’ — hosted its annual “Light Up the Night’’ Gala for Autism at the InterContinental Boston on Saturday night. The group raffled off this chopper (above) at $100 a ticket for the cause; the bike is valued at more than $60,000. Guests at the affair, which featured some celebrity look-alikes (including Marilyn Monroe), included real-life “Fighter’’ Micky Ward, union president Sean O’Brien, and Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.
