The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Carl Albert Middle School Pom Squad raise over $1,600 in just two hours at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will go towards travel expenses for the team to attend a cheer camp.

"We were extremely pleased with the success from this Flapjack Fundraiser," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. "The Apple Gold Group is always thrilled to be able to participate in an event that supports youth athletic groups in the community."

The CAMS Pom Squad Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on May 1, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 608 Air Depot Blvd., Midwest City, OK. The group sold over 300 tickets and an additional $270 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.
