FOUNDATION 18th ANNUAL TOY DRIVE
Golden Boy Promotions 18h Annual Toy Drive was held on Saturday December, 20th at the Oscar De La Hoya Ánimo Charter High School. The’Season of Giving’ Back is a year long project for the foundation that bares his name.
The foundation served over 1,500 children in the East Los Angeles community, and pre-selected the recipients from local elementary schools and church groups. Present was the The Los Angeles County Sheriffs and Captain Steve Biagini of the East Los Angeles Sherriff Station
Earlier in the year the foundation in association with the California Municipal Finance Authority donated new, state-of-the-art boxing equipment to the youth that train at the Santa Ana Boxing Club in Santa Ana, Calif. And in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, the foundation hosted its 18th Annual Turkey Giveaway joined by star fighters Randy “El Matador” Caballero, Hugo “The Boss” Centeno Jr., Gabriel “King” Rosado, Joseph “Jo Jo” Diaz Jr., Julian “El Camarón” Ramirez and Diego De La Hoya. They helped distribute more than 500 turkeys, fixings and other food products to the community with the help of sponsors: the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation, Tampico, Coca Cola, Jersey Mikes, Bonerts Pies, Davalan Fresh Sales, Mission Foods and Vallarta Markets.
“I love being able to give back, and I believe that it is better to give than to receive,” De La Hoya said. “My success in boxing and business has enabled me to give back to the community from which I came, and to support efforts that truly improve the lives of others. I’m very blessed, and I want to be able to be a blessing to others this holiday season. It is truly an honor to be able to do that.”
