Our Goal
Our goal is to reinvent the school fundraising industry with one simple idea: PUT THE FUN BACK INTO FUNdraising. Our fun run earns twice as much as an average product sale, and includes the fundamental differentiator – a curriculum paired with the program that helps our team build future leaders. Also, because teachers become coaches and have potential to earn dollars for their classroom, they have skin in the game, and are automatically incentivized to build a successful fundraising event.
Why APEX?
PTAs are busy enough. Let APEX do the heavy lifting. “Hassle-free” is not just a bullet point on our marketing materials – it’s a promise from our team to yours.
