"Secret Millionaire" James Malinchak heads to Gary, Indiana, a city hit hard by the economic downturn. James delivers motivational presentations and serves as a contributing author and associate editor of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series.
James spent six days living on just welfare wages in a typical one-bedroom apartment in a rundown neighborhood.
On his quest to find charitable organizations to share his fortune with, he meets Coach Tony at the "Baylor Youth Foundation". It's an organization that provides a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where at-risk urban youth are encouraged to develop their full potential through participation in athletic competition. Watch James meet Coach Tony in the clip below.
James later surprises the heroes he meets with thousands of dollars of his own money to help their causes.
"Secret Millionaire" airs this Sunday, March 20th at 8 p.m. on ABC!
