Level Up Leaders: Ridgeview's Apex Fundraiser!

Get ready for the biggest fundraising event of the year! From September 30th–October 10th, Ridgeview and Apex are teaming up for two weeks of fun, fitness, and leadership. This year’s theme is Level Up, inspiring our students to grow, rise above challenges, and unlock their leadership potential.

Students will take part in daily interactive lessons and a super-charged fitness event that builds character, leadership skills, and confidence—all while raising money for our school!

Our Whys: Fundraising & Apex

At Ridgeview, we’re aiming high! This year, we’re raising funds for key initiatives like:

• 🎉 Student Enrichment & Celebration – meaningful programs, experiences, and school-wide fun that help students feel seen, celebrated, and inspired.
• 📚 Classroom Support – giving teachers and students the tools and resources they need every day to thrive.
• 💪 The many events, activities, and services the PTA provides to keep our students, teachers, and staff thriving!

Our goal? $32,000—every penny goes straight to Ridgeview!

To help us hit that goal, we’ve partnered with Apex—a company that’s all about combining leadership development with fitness fun. Over two action-packed weeks, students won’t just be raising money for our school; they’ll also be learning life-long leadership habits that help them succeed.

Here’s what our students will be learning every day: 

• Growth Starts with Belief!
• Leadership Starts with Me!
• Understanding Others is Key
• Leaders Need a Game Plan!
• Great Leaders Rise Above!
• Leaders, Your Moment is HERE!

How Apex Works

It all kicks off with the Level Up Pep Rally on September 30th—the energy’s going to be electric! Students will be introduced to the Apex program and receive their VIP Badges with login details for myapexevent.com so they can start collecting pledges.

After the rally, pledges will officially open for donations, and our students will embark on a leadership journey filled with daily activities that help them become tomorrow’s leaders.

Fun leadership activities lead up to the grand finale: the Apex Obstacle Course on October 9th, where our students will show off their leadership skills and while having a blast completing the course!
