Fundraising is a crucial part of any school’s success, providing essential resources for educational programs, extracurricular activities, and student development. However, traditional fundraising methods often feel outdated, stressful, and burdensome for parents, teachers, and students alike. That’s where Apex Leadership comes in. As a dynamic and innovative fundraising partner, Apex Leadership transforms school fundraising into an engaging, impactful experience that goes beyond just raising money—it builds leadership, community, and fun!

Apex Leadership: A Smarter Way to Fundraise

Apex Leadership specializes in hassle-free, high-energy fundraising programs tailored to the needs of elementary and middle schools. Unlike traditional sales-based fundraisers that require students to sell products like candy, wrapping paper, or cookie dough, Apex takes a completely different approach. Their model integrates fitness, leadership, and technology to create an interactive and rewarding experience for students, teachers, and families.

With a strong presence in Northern Illinois, Apex Leadership franchise owner Dean Tielbur is dedicated to helping local schools maximize their fundraising potential while building strong leaders for the future. His team operates in Palatine, Arlington Heights, Gurnee, and surrounding areas, ensuring schools have access to a proven fundraising system that is both effective and enjoyable.

✔ More Profits, Less Hassle – Traditional fundraisers often yield low returns after factoring in product costs and logistics. Apex Leadership fundraisers consistently raise more money than conventional methods while requiring significantly less effort from volunteers and staff.

✔ Engaging and Inclusive for All Students – Every student gets to participate in the Apex Fun Run, Glow Run, Obstacle Course, or Dance Remix, ensuring that fundraising becomes an experience, not just a task. These events promote fitness, teamwork, and school spirit, making it an unforgettable experience for students of all ages.

✔ Leadership-Focused Curriculum – Apex isn’t just about raising money—it’s about developing students into future leaders. Elementary school programs incorporate a PBIS-based character curriculum, teaching students important life skills like responsibility and perseverance.

✔ Seamless Online Fundraising Platform – Apex’s digital platform eliminates the need for paper forms, door-to-door sales, and cash handling. Parents, family members, and friends can easily make secure online donations, allowing schools to expand their reach and raise even more funds.

✔ Middle School & Jr. High Special Events – In addition to elementary school fundraising, Apex Leadership specializes in high-energy “Pay to Play” events for middle schools. These exciting events include Color Games and Apex Games, designed to keep older students engaged and motivated.
