The Rock’s birthday 2020
Since physical events, including large parties, cannot be held with the coronavirus global pandemic, The Rock, founder of Teremana Tequila, organized an IG live on 2nd May. This was the first-ever DOS DE MANA celebration and toast to celebrate those whose birthdays were in March, April, and May during the lockdown. The celebrity went out of his way to give a shout out to lockdown birthday babies and sang a birthday serenade to them. This was a different but equally impactful way of showing concern to others, especially with the global pandemic that has affected the usual ways of life.
