RALEIGH, N.C. — The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have partnered with the Southern Lee Booster Club to raise $2,919 at its recent two-and-a-half hour long Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will help the high school baseball team attend a tournament in Tennessee over Spring Break.
“At almost $3,000 in such a short amount of time, this is one of our most successful breakfasts,” said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. “Volunteers from the Southern Lee Booster Club were outstanding, and we look forward to helping them reach their financial goal and get the team to Tennessee.”
The Southern Lee Booster Club Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted by the Applebee’s Restaurant located at 1325 Plaza Blvd., Sanford, NC on December 19th. Over 315 people purchased tickets for $7 to attend the event. Breakfast included a short stack of pancakes, sausage, coffee, juice and milk.
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.
