The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Habitat for Humanity of Goldsboro, NC raise over $1,200 in just three hours at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will directly support an annual banquet that honors volunteers and donors affiliated with Habitat for Humanity.

"The Apple Gold Groups continues to find opportunities to support the local community," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. "Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful organization, and we were thrilled to have supported their fundraising efforts."

The Habitat for Humanity Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on March 20, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 901 N. Spence St., Goldsboro, NC. The group sold over 190 tickets for $7 each. 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.
