"Applebee’s takes pride in assisting youth athletic programs in the community," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. "We are excited about the success of this fundraiser and hope that the team will turn to us for future assistance."

The Southmoore High School Softball Team Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on March 20, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 2401 S I-35 Frontage Rd., Moore, OK.
