EDMONTON, Sept. 13 /CNW/ - The Alberta Association for Community Living (AACL) is the Canadian winner of  $30,000 from the APX Alarm Gives Back Project. AACL is thrilled to be receiving these desperately needed funds that will directly benefit children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families. 

APX Alarm recently held an online contest across Canada and the United States in which close to 400 charities competed. Everyone was invited to support the charity of their choice and more than 375,000 votes were cast. The APEX Alarm donation is an outstanding example of how corporations and their employees can make a difference in the world.

AACL received more votes than any other Canadian charity.  This is a testimony to the work AACL does in Alberta in supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities and the loyalty we have earned from their families.
