Christopher's Universiñera
The thought came from being recently asked to be padrinos (Godparents/sponsors) for someone's quinceañera .
For a quinceañera - people ask for money to celebrate their daughter's 15th birthday as a rite of passage.
For this event - money/donations will be used for my son's college education.
For the purpose of this fund request - this event will be called an Universiñera (a made up word where I combined quinceañera with university).
The Guest of Honor / Invitado de Honor:
Christopher Shea
Graduation Date: Saturday - May 30, 2015

La idea me vino cuando recientemente alguien nos pidió ser padrinos de una quinceañera.
Para una quinceañera - personas piden dinero para celebrar el cumpleaños de su hija como un rito de paso. Para este evento - el dinero / donaciones se utilizarán para la educación universitaria de mi hijo.
Para el propósito de esta solicitud de fondos - este evento será llamada Universiñera (una palabra compuesta donde combiné quinceañera con la universidad).
El dinero de este fondo se destinará a la matrícula universitaria, alojamiento y comida y libros y suministros de Christopher.
