The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Edmond High School Bulldog Band raise over $1,700 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will directly support the band program at Edmond Memorial High School.

"The Apple Gold Group and its employees enjoy working with local non-profit organizations in the community," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We are pleased with the success of this event and look forward to working with this group in the future."

The Edmond High School Bulldog Band Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on September 18, 2010 by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 3521 S. Broadway Ext., Edmond, OK. The organization sold 300 tickets to the event. 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.
