Juan P. Cabrales Memorial Scholarship

Donation protected
Dear family and friends, 
As many of you know, my brother Juan P. Cabrales passed away unexpectedly on the evening of September 24, 2020 at the age of 44.  

I am inviting you to help us establish a memorial scholarship in loving memory of my brother.  It is our hope that we will honor him for many years in establishing this scholarship in his name.  We will be establishing this scholarship at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) where it will benefit engineering students from an underrepresented group.

Juan earned his Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at UIUC.   As an undergrad at UIUC, he was an active member of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and served as president of the organization.  He also committed his time to SHPE and its members as an alumnus for many years.  At the time of his death, he had over twenty years of experience as a Software Engineer specific to pharmaceutical, data services, gaming, medical devices, aviation and aerospace, and commercial software. He was a proud Illini engineer! 

Please help us establish this scholarship for engineering students by making a donation here on gofundme. If you would like to pledge an amount directly to UIUC, please use this link:  https://signnow.com/s/nuoqNkGb.  Thank you for your consideration!
