Our company became part of our community in 2007. From the start, we've been rooted in giving back through service, mentorship and philanthropy.
As our post yesterday described, giving & investing connects us to our community, keeps us rooted in what's really important in life and touches our humanity. Volunteering also provides you the opportunity to get to know your community and build relationships through collective service. Let's face it, owning a business cuts down on your time for a social life, so forming social relationships via service- that's a perk!
Besides, you get to know some amazing people in your community.
We stopped counting community service hours years ago, since it was well over 100K hours and spanned 19 different leadership & fundraising roles. We've been a speaker, panelist, moderator or facilitator and supported our local chamber's of commerce serving on boards, ambassador programs & chairing committees. Investing in youth paves the way for the future workforce to be more prepared for the challenges they will face. Boots on the ground provides a training ground outside the walls of the classroom. We've been a long time supporter and contributor to our local public school programs as mentor, speaker and facilitator. Additionally we've supported local internship programs, business alliances and career fairs. Within our industry we've paid it forward by frequently contributing to industry publications or forums for best practices.
In 2024 our sponsorship dollars have benefited 22 different projects or programs with veterans, chambers of commerce, local schools, Special Olympics, food insecurity, healthcare, public safety, education, youth and empowering women. Since 2007 our giving total has totaled $95,735. Currently, you will find our service footprint the Apex Rotary Club & the Apex Festival Commission- better known as PeakFest. If you'd like to know more about how you can get involved in the community- let's set up a time to chat. We'd love to learn more about you and connect you to local resources. Together, we contribute to strong communities by supporting each other.
As we wind down 2024- watch for a special opportunity to give back! Keep following our socials for details!
