The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped Wake Forest Rage, a girls fast pitch softball organization, raise over $1,500 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will directly benefit the organization and assist with tournament expenses for the teams.

"Our Flapjack Fundraiser program has been very successful in raising funds and awareness for local non-profits throughout the local community," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We are extremely pleased with the result from this fundraiser and we wish the ladies much success with their upcoming tournaments."

The Wake Forest Rage Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on June 5, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 11805 Retail Drive, Wake Forest, NC. The organization sold over 140 tickets and an additional $775 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.
