Meet and Greet Daddy Yankee & Enter For a Chance to Win The Ultimate Quinceañera

What quinceañera wouldn’t want Daddy Yankee performing at her big Quince?  Even better, what parents of a quinceañera wouldn’t want all of the expenses of this costly rite of passage celebration covered by someone other than themselves?!  ¡Así sí tiramos la casa por la ventana! Well, apparently that’s exactly what the folks over at Verizon were thinking when they came up with their “fabulous” Mis Fabulosos Quinces Expo and Giveaway.  That’s right, I said giveaway!

From now until June 31, 2012, young girls across eight different US cities will have the opportunity to enter to win an all expenses paid Quince from Verizon, as well as the privilege of having Daddy Yankee perform at their quinceañera!

You could have Daddy Yankee performing at your Quince!

Specifically, the Grand Prize will include the dress, the cake, a limo, and a party planner – pretty much the works!  The Grand Prize winner will also receive 4 Verizon smartphones, four $250 Verizon Wireless gift cards, and a college scholarship.  Not too shabby eh?!  I’d enter if we had a quinceañera, LOL!

Last year, hundreds turned out for a similar event in Houston.

In order to enter for a chance to win, contestants must submit an essay to the wireless service provider answering the following questions: 1) What does a Quince mean to you? 2) What are you planning to accomplish after high school?  3) How would you use technology to make your Quince dreams come true?

  1. Juan, I’ve enjoyed many quinceañeras. They are fun! But every time I attend one in my family, I hold my breath and pray that the next event is not a baby shower. That happens way too frequently among our girls and it saddens me.

    I’ve challenged the girls in my family to forego the quince and opt for a graduation party instead. But, I don’t have the influence that Daddy Yankee enjoys. I would have hoped that kind of challenge would come from him or someone just as popular.

    1. I can certainly understand where you’re coming from, and I have also certainly cringed myself at some of the “Quiero Mis Quince” mentality out there, but the truth is a lot of young girls just want to have their big day. I don’t think it has to be over the top or extra fabulous… a small family affair como se pueda hacer should be fine. Granted, I’d rather throw a graduation party too, but hey… this one is completely free! We can’t blame young girls for getting excited about maybe winning a free quince. But I do definitely understand your point
