The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped First Free Will Baptist Church raise over $1,100 in just three hours at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will help offset costs to re-roof cabins at the church’s youth camp.

"Applebee’s takes great pride in supporting local non-profit organizations and programs," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of Apple Gold Group. "This Flapjack Fundraiser was a great success and we are truly appreciative for all of the employees and volunteers that came together for this event."

The First Free Will Baptist Church Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on May 29, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 4333 Warden Road, North Little Rock, AR. The group sold over 120 tickets and an additional $180 in donations was collected. Breakfast includes 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.
