Alejandro (Alex) Rodriguez, president of Coastland Construction, and his wife Karen Rodriguez, director of design and development, exemplify the diversity that makes Miami such a vibrant international community. The son of Cuban immigrants, Alex is a second-generation builder whose introduction into the industry began while working summers at his father’s construction company. Born and raised in Barbados, Karen is influenced by the rich island community and Bajan culture. The couple has been supporting Holtz Children’s Hospital through Jackson Health Foundation for the past 14 years.

Last month, Alex and Karen graciously decided to increase their philanthropic investment to Holtz Children’s by becoming Golden Angels. A five-year pledge demonstrates how strongly committed Alex and Karen are to helping children receive excellent medical care in a compassionate environment.

“Every patient is someone’s child,” Karen said. “We support Holtz Children’s because we believe all children deserve the best health care.”

We thank them for supporting our mission to make miracles happen.
