Carols By Candelight
Every year since 1945 Apexians in Perth have supported and co-ordinated the annual Caros By Candelight. Since 1970 more than $500,000 has been raised for a variety of charitable causes and Apex has been happy to bring the community together on this festive occasion. This is an example of service, fellowship and community outreach. Volunteers learn great skills, make new friends and ensure that the general public participate in a well run and safe event. This also allows Apex to showcase its broader appeal as a volunteer service organisation.
Since 1970, approximately $700,000 has been distributed to over 30 charities, including:
Variety, St John Ambulance, Cystic Fibrosis Assocation of Western Australia, Epilepsy Association Inc WA, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, Perth City Mission, Rocky Bay, The Salvation Army, Appealathon, Kids Help Line, The Starlight Children's Foundation, and many more.
