LOS ANGELES, October 31 - Ten-time World Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Oscar de la Hoya will be featured on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on Sunday, November 2nd. "The Golden Boy" will be on the show as a special guest to make two surprise announcements to Tim and Michelle Hill and their four children, a family who with the support of their community is having their home and boxing gym rebuilt. The episode will air on Sunday, November 2nd at 8:00pm PT/ET and 7:00pm CT on ABC.
The Hill family has faced economic hardships and has put all of their money into keeping their gym open for the local youths to train in while staying off of the streets. As there is no charge for children to train in the gym, it has become a very popular place for children in the community.
"Tim and Michelle are real heroes and I admire what they have done for their community," said De La Hoya. "Their unselfish acts of kindness have brought an entire community together by taking kids off the rough streets and allowing them to train in their gym free of charge. This facility has been a second home to most of the kids in the community and I'm pleased to be a part of making the gym more affordable for the Hills. The next time I'm in New York I plan on visiting the Hill family's new house and boxing gym."
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," which has won back-to-back Emmy Awards as Best Reality Program (non-competitive), is entering its 6th season on ABC. The program is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. Anthony Dominici is the executive producer; and David Goldberg is the president of Endemol USA.
