The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Cary Colts Jr. American Legion Baseball team raise over $1,800 in just two and a half hours at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will support team operating costs and will help provide player scholarships.

"Applebee’s takes great pride in assisting local youth athletic organizations and programs," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "The Applebee’s employees and team volunteers were extremely helpful in making this fundraiser a great success."

The Cary Colts Jr. American Legion Baseball team Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on Saturday, June 19, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located on 3625 Hillsborough St., Raleigh, NC. The group sold over 325 tickets to the event. Breakfast included a short stack of pancakes, sausage, milk, juice and coffee.

Breakfasts can be held on any Saturday or Sunday morning, and cost the organization around $2 a meal.
