“I’m stoked and honored to have been part of the Mauli Ola Foundation event supporting my good friend Kala Alexander,” Rojas said in a statement. “ As a father of two children, I wholeheartedly support any organization that strives to improve the quality of life of any child. Thank you Mauli Ola for making the world a better place and may every child enjoy the ‘Breath of Life.’”
