Who knows what else. As a parent, I have experienced these same types of opportunities for my kids to become traveling candy salesmen. </span></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img src="//TeachingLearningLeadingK12.podbean.com/mf/web/mwukx3/Jeremy_Barnhart__182.jpg" alt="Jeremy_Barnhart__182.jpg" width="182" height="280"></span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On today's show, I am talking with Jeremy Barnhart, the Co-Owner, VP for Franchise Development, and CFO of Apex Fun Run. This company partners with schools to raise money for equipment and other campus needs.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This unique method for raising funds incorporates leadership, character building, and encourages physical fitness. </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Another unique aspect of Apex Fun Run is that it offers the opportunity for you to own your own business.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jeremy talks about how "they changed the game of fund raising for schools." </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He notes that something that makes them so different from product-based fund raising is that in traditional programs "the schools keep somewhere between 20% - 30% of the collected money whereas with Apex Fun Run the schools retain from 52% to 77% of the money."</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for listening and make sure that you visit the <a href="http://apexfunrun.com/tll">special page</a> that Jeremy set-up for Teaching Learning Leading K12 listeners.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Connect with Jeremy to learn more by going to: </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://apexfunrun.com/tll">http://apexfunrun.com/tll</a></span></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Length: 28:35</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
