A note from your local owner

Hi, I’m Casey.

I’m the Area Owner for Apex Leadership Co. in San Diego, and I get to be a part of an amazing group of young people impacting our community. We help schools raise healthy funds while teaching LEADERSHIP.

I love partnering with staff, admin, and parent groups, and my goal with every school is simple: make fundraising easy for the adults and unforgettable for the kids.

P.S. When I’m not at a school event, you’ll find me surfing or moving slow in my ’57 Thunderbird.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know planning a fundraiser comes with questions — here are clear, simple answers to help you feel confident.

How does the Apex fundraising platform work?

Our secure, web-based platform makes giving incredibly easy for families and sponsors. We have completely eliminated the need for traditional door-to-door sales. Instead, students can safely reach out to supporters across the country through simple digital sharing. This streamlined approach, combined with our engaging leadership curriculum, is proven to help schools raise two to three times more than traditional methods.

Are the programs inclusive for all students?

Every single student gets to participate in the fun! Our programs are completely inclusive. Regardless of a family's ability to contribute financially, every child joins in the daily leadership lessons, earns daily character wristbands, and celebrates at the final high-energy fitness event alongside their classmates.

How are the funds distributed to schools?

Funds raised are transferred directly to the participating school's account, typically within a few business days after the program ends.

Can schools customize their fundraising events?

Absolutely. We customize the program to fit your specific schedule, students, and staff. Our goal is to fully support your campus without adding any extra work to your plate.
