On May 24, Apex joined the TELL Tokyo Tower Climb, a meaningful event focused on mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
TELL Japan, the organizer of this event, is a non-profit dedicated to providing mental health support and counseling services, particularly for the international community and English speakers living in Japan.
Each year, schools, businesses, and community members come together to climb the iconic Tokyo Tower, symbolizing their support and commitment to mental wellness. Funds raised during the event directly benefit services such as lifeline operations, training for volunteers, community mental health workshops, and subsidized counseling sessions.
It’s genuinely rewarding to be part of this event—not just as participants but as proud sponsors. Over the last decade, this event has deeply resonated with Apex's culture, embodying our values and commitment to community support.
We’re proud to share that, for the fourth consecutive year, Apex took home the Corporate Cup as the fastest team of four, finishing with a time of 3:49! Out of more than 340 climbers, our very own Ellis Warren also set the fastest individual time of the day at 3:27.
