Great job everyone!
I love being part of a company who is always helping the community and what a great foundation to give to! It’s so great that APX always tries to find ways to help people whether it be raising money to help one of their own or helping those who are in need!!! YAY for APX GIVES BACK:)!!!
Im glad to see that not only are we providing protection to families by having our system also helping those foundations that also protect and help families with needs and kids with special needs too. Im glad to work for a company like this.
It’s things like this that make me proud to be an APX employee. I don’t know about you, but $25,000 is a lot of money. To donate it to a organization that is focused on helping children with disabilities is impressive. They say you can know a good tree from its fruit. I continiously see good fruit branch out from the tree that is APX Alarm.
This story and the generous donation from APX has a special significance for me and my family. My 22 month old daughter, Kinley, was diagnosed with an eating disorder around the time she turned 1 and since that time Kids on the Move has been working with her on a bi weekly basis to overcome this disorder. Thier staff has been great to work with and really do care about the children they are helping. On behalf of my wife and daughter, Thank you APX for the generous donation to the Kids on the Move organization. I know that it will be put to good use and allow them to help others in need of their services.
Thanks
Ryan, Natalie, and Kinley Oustrich
I loved reading this story! It really makes me so proud to work for a company that really does make a point to reach out and make a difference. Way to go APX!
APX continues to amaze me! As a company we continue to give and give to those that really need it; I know the service we give is truly appreciated!
Being a parent myself, I know that these kinds of programs in the community are so important. It is great that APX Alarm sees the importance of the needs in the community and makes sure to get invloved.
I think it’s so awesome that our company donates so much to people in need. I was part of a team that APX put together to help those from hurricain Ike. Our company is awesome!!!
After attending the SCERA charity show for “Kids on the Move” I have never been more proud to be a part of APX. Announcements for matching donations and other contributions from APX, while being there with my family, really makes you feel like you a part of something amazing!
After the show and also the “Day of Caring” I found out that my nephew Hunter, who was born Deaf and received tutoring from Kids on the Move to help him develop his hearing after receiving a Cochlear implant: I am so proud to be a part of APX and to have given a little of my time back to Kids on the Move. What a great organization they are!
“Kids on the Move” was a great help to my children. I think it is great that APX made a donation to help them out.
I am very proud to be working for a company that really cares about their customers . Knowing now that APX is taking care of “Kids on the Move” as well is incredible ! My sister in law has worked there for more than 10 years . I have seen her go through many challenges and I know what type of person it takes to be able to provide the care and love children with disabilites need . APX rocks !
