Last week, Kobe Bryant held a contest that would allow a random person who donated to his charity a chance to meet, and play a game of FIFA 14, with Kobe at “Kobe Up Close Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel”. The winner, Romina Rosas, is a stay at home mom who has two boys, six and four.
Ramina and her husband won two seats right behind Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, at the “Kobe Up Close” show, as well as a two-night stay at the J.W. Marriott at L.A. Live, and she also won two VIP passes to the reception before the show. Romina said she had been dreaming of meeting the Black Mamba since she was 14.
Kobe and Vanessa Bryant run the Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation, which is supposed to help eliminate homelessness in Los Angeles. The foundation was started in 2007.
