The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped The Arc of Cabarrus County raise over $1,400 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards advocacy, education and support programs.

"We enjoyed working with The Arc of Cabarrus County and helping them raise funds for their future programs," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We wish them the best of luck with their future endeavors."

The Arc of Cabarrus County fundraiser was hosted on November 13, 2010, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 1240 US Highway 29, Concord, N.C. The organization sold 165 tickets and an additional $554 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 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.
