The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the JC Carson High School Band raise over $1,100 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards the band’s trip to Florida.

"We were excited to help JC Carson High School raise money for their band and we know their trip to Florida will be a wonderful experience," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group.

The JC Carson High School Band fundraiser was hosted on February 19, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 205 Faith Road, Salisbury, NC. The organization sold 99 tickets and an additional $700 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.
