Support
HOUSTON, July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Apex Leadership Company, a
dynamic fundraising franchise has started the first half of the
year strong by raising over $70
million for elementary and middle schools across the
country, as well as expanding the brand into new markets. As
districts nationwide face economic challenges and significant
budget cuts, this record-breaking milestone reaffirms Apex as the
leader in the school fundraising space with a unique platform that
aims to provide essential resources needed to help students develop
into tomorrow's future leaders.
The national franchise brand is continuing to grow its dominance
as the top school fundraising business. Indeed recently named Apex
as one of the best franchises to purchase in 2024 due to its
low-cost start up and plethora of resources and support available
to franchisees. In the first half of the year, new franchise
agreements have been signed that will propel the school fundraising
programs into Colorado,
Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Maryland.
A closer look at Apex Leadership Company's newest markets and
the franchisees that will be serving schools by fall 2024:

extensive background in investor relations and fund management to
the brand. Having signed for a territory in Phoenix, her strategic insights and regulatory
expertise will enhance Apex's mission of positively impacting
educational and community outcomes in the area.
- Thornton, CO – With a
vision fueled by his family's teaching legacy and coaching
background, Dustin Snell is charting

Denver area, merging his passions

will be key to helping more educators in the region raise a
significant amount of funds for essential classroom resources.
Franchisee Mike Buell shared his enthusiasm for joining the Apex
family, stating, "Our son always enjoyed the fun runs at his
school, but when we saw how Apex does fundraising, it entirely
changed our perspective. We realized there was nothing like it in
our local school and knew it would be a great fit. As a coach, I
understand the effort involved in organizing these events, and
seeing how hassle-free and effective Apex's approach is, made it
clear that it's worthwhile. It's been a tough four years for those
in education due to insufficient funding, and if we can help
schools raise those much-needed funds, then it's all worth it."
The leader behind Apex's steady growth is CEO Jamie Krasnov, who was recently named among
Houston Business Journal's 2024 40 Under 40 honorees. The
award recognizes exceptional professionals in the greater
Houston area under the age of 40
