Kids Win by a KOIt was a knockout punch at the Beverly Hilton when The Oscar De La Hoya Foundation honored entrepreneur producer Sam Nazarian, actor Antonio Banderas and California State Controller Steve Westly at the ninth annual "Evening of Champions" Dec. 6. The evening's emcee, funnyman George Lopez brought the laughs and Macy Gray delivered a one-two punch with a crowd-pleasing performance.
