The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped North Stanly Pigskin Club raise nearly $1,600 in just three hours at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will go toward improving the football field house at North Stanly High School.

"Applebee’s takes pride in being a leader in local youth fundraising," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. "We are thrilled that we have helped the North Stanly Pigskin Club and their efforts to improve their field house."

The North Stanly Pigskin Club Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on February 20, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located on 517 NC 24/27 Bypass East, Albemarle, NC. The group sold 266 tickets to 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.
