AIM supports APEX by increasing public awareness through conducting community outreach, planning fundraising events, and building alliances with other organizations. AIM has been successful in bringing people together to support APEX through creative and inspirational activities, such as the AIM for the ARTS benefit in collaboration with the Chambers Fine Art Gallery in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, and the Hallowbowleen in collaboration with Palisades Emergency Residence Corporation (PERC) homeless shelter. These are among the various events that APEX-In-Motion has enacted to touch the lives of the supporters, volunteers, and youths they AIM to serve.
