Elias Rodriguez the smart, funny, hard-working son of Tama and Pedro has been accepted into a summer program at USC. The Viterbi School of Engineering is holding a Summer Commercialization and Innovation High School Institute, it runs from July 17-28. The tuition is $3000 and there are boarding costs in addition to the tuition.

We would really like for Elias to be able to say "YES" to this opportunity and are hoping there are people out there willing to help us meet the goal of $3000 for the tuition. Tama and Pedro need to commit to the program on Elias' behalf very soon so if you are able, please use the Go Fund Me campaign to share what you can.

I don't know of a young person more deserving of this opportunity or more committed to utilizing the knowledge and skills he will gain through this experience.
