The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee's restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the American Cancer Society of East Gaston, NC, raise over $1,000 in just three hours at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will benefit the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life of East Gaston.
"Our team had an amazing experience working with the passionate volunteers from the American Cancer Society," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. "The Flapjack Fundraiser program has been very successful in raising funds and awareness for local non-profits throughout the local community."
The American Cancer Society Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on January 16, 2010 by the Applebee's restaurant located on 3628 E. Franklin Blvd. in Gastonia, NC. Over 180 people purchased tickets for $7 to attend the event. Breakfast included a short stack of pancakes, sausage, milk, juice and coffee.
Applebee's is proud to partner with any local non-profit organization as a way to raise money for their cause. From ticket sales to event-day staff, the breakfasts are managed by the non-profit organization with the assistance of Applebee's employee volunteers. Breakfasts can be held on any Saturday or Sunday morning, and cost the organization around $2 a meal. The Applebee's Flapjack Fundraisers represent the restaurant chain's latest efforts to remain active within its local neighborhood.
