Fueling the Future: Ridgeview's Apex Fundraiser!

Get ready for the biggest fundraising event of the year! From September 16th–27th, Ridgeview and Apex are teaming up to inspire and empower our students to become Future Leaders. This two-week adventure is packed with interactive leadership lessons and a super-fun fitness event that will help students build character, leadership skills, and fitness—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:

• 🌳 Outdoor Campus Transformation
• 📚 Classroom Resources and Supplies
• 💪 The many events, activities, and services the PTA provides to keep our students, teachers, and staff thriving!

Our goal? $30,000—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. For two action-packed weeks, our students will not only help raise the funds that support our school's growth and success, but they’ll also be learning valuable leadership skills that will empower them to become Future Leaders. 

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

• Future Leaders Are Grateful
• Future Leaders Show Respect
• Future Leaders Practice Kindness
• Future Leaders Do What's Right
• Future Leaders Stick With It
• Future Leaders Start TODAY

How Apex Works

It all kicks off with a Future Pep Rally on September 17th—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 September 26th, where our students will show off their leadership skills and while having a blast completing the course!
