Hundreds of Apexians from the local clubs, Singapore and the Philippines attended the function. They were also joined by residents from charity homes.
Apex Club of Penang president Jason Ang said the club had many ongoing projects.
"In the past, we gave annual bursaries to needy students. In the near future, we will be giving study aid from our Apex Penang Education Fund to undergraduates," he added.
Ang said it would take many fund-raising projects to achieve the club's target of RM60,000 to kick-start the education fund.
"The charity Mount Kinabalu Climbathon in February this year was just one such project," he said.
Guest-of-honour was Penang Health and Welfare, Caring Society and Environment Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh.
Among the activities for the night were the climbathon cheque presentation, presentation of souvenirs to Apex Club of Penang's past presidents and an anniversary cake-cutting ceremony.
Some club members took home lucky draw prizes.
Guests were entertained by Steel Guitars group and singer, Teoh Gini.
Also present were fund-raising and function's organising chairman Edward Mai and National Association of Apex Clubs of Malaysia's national president G.N. Nair and BH Electronics Sdn Bhd operations director Ken Cheah. -- By Danny Ooi
