Sister Debbie Drago, Executive Director of Collier Youth Services, stated, "Howard and Fran Schoor have been supporters and friends of Collier Youth Services for over 30 years –they share in our mission to provide at-risk youth a chance to grow towards their potential in an environment that promotes belonging, dignity, and hope. We at Collier Youth Services are grateful for the generous support of the Schoor Family Foundation, and look forward to seeing significant gains from the cutting-edge support they have provided through the Beable platform. In fact, we have already received a tremendous teacher and student response."

"I am proud to provide such an integral resource to our developing young leaders," stated award-winning artist Howard Schoor, "I respect Beable's achievements and know that together, we are transforming our culture, creating a space where literacy can be celebrated. I am thrilled to provide this technology to support students in developing leadership skills and preparing them for gainful employment."
