The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity raise over $1,400 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards their Membership Drive and Scholarship Program.

"We are delighted to partner with Phi Beta Sigma as they raise funds for their scholarship program," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group.

The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Scholarship Drive fundraiser was hosted on November 13, 2010, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 4333 Warden Road, North Little Rock, A.R. The organization sold 236 tickets. 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 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.
