“I’m part of BFCFund to help give students the tools they need to thrive academically and personally.”

“BFCFund gives me an opportunity to honor a friend’s life, Gabriel Scheller, and put my desire for changing lives and equal opportunity through education in real action!”

“I am involved with the Black Friday College Fund because I want to do my part in helping students of color access higher education.”

“I’m on the board because of my best friend Gabe. The positive energy he displayed was unmatched. I know how big his heart was and he would want to keep giving back to people so that they could further their education and life.”

“After focusing on suicide prevention work for eight years after my son Gabe’s death, I sensed that it was time for me to celebrate his life and support some of his passions (while continuing to honestly address the factors that derailed his dreams). That vision grew into BFCFund.”
