Apex Leadership Company
Any successful business leads with its strengths, and Apex Leadership Company is no different. Our programs work because we know what we do best, and we know how to leverage it for schools, students, and teachers. The advantages of franchising with Apex are clear to see, and they’re why our impact on the lives we touch couldn’t be higher.
How Apex Leads the Pack
We’re pioneers on the sports fundraising scene, and over the past 12 years, we’ve earned a sterling reputation as the leader in this industry. Our programs have raised millions of dollars for schools nationwide and helped teachers instill valuable lessons about character in the next generation of student leaders. And best of all — they’re just plain fun! Students, teachers, parents, and community members know that our events do more than raise much-needed funds for schools; they’re an absolute blast.

"I would not have been able to have a large-scale fundraiser alone. The kids LOVE the Apex leaders and they make the program stand apart from being just another fundraiser."
