The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped First Baptist Church Student Ministry of Moore, OK raise over $1,100 in just two hours at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will help offset travel costs for the church’s mission trip to Belize.

"The Apple Gold Group had a wonderful time working with the members and volunteers from First Baptist Church," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. "We are very pleased with the result of this fundraiser, and we wish all the best in their upcoming trip to Belize."

The First Baptist Church Student Ministry Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on March 13, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 2401 S I-35 Frontage Rd., Moore, OK. The group sold 208 tickets and an additional $300 in donations was raised. Breakfast included a short stack of pancakes, sausage, milk, juice and coffee.

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.
