Giving back to our communities is a big part of our APJC Systems Engineering (SE) culture. Given the current pandemic environment we are all navigating, we have been unable to physically come together and make a difference within the communities we live and work in. This APJC SE Supporting Children Welfare Fund was set up to empower our teams to raise funds for deserving charities from the comfort of our own homes, while celebrating the unique talents of our very own gifted superstars within SE peers. Each of these charities has been selected in recognition of the wonderful work they do to help and support children. We hope you will give as much as you can, and let's all have fun in the process, as one APJC SE team.

Both the excitement for the holiday season and the closing of this 2021 year are fast approaching! There's never been a better time to show support for your local communities than now. To help you do this, APJC is uniting together to raise funds for eight different charitable organizations. You can make an impact by contributing, every donation counts.
