The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Wakefield Rotary Club raise over $1,400 in just two hours at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will directly support funding for local and international service projects.

"Flapjack Fundraisers are an easy and efficient way for nonprofit organization to raise money," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. "This is a remarkable group of members and we are delighted to have supported their fundraising efforts."

The Wakefield Rotary Club Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on April 24, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 11805 Retail Dr., Wake Forest, NC. The group sold 200 tickets and an additional $220 in donations was collected. 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.
