The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped Woodland Baptist Church raise over $1,200 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards its building fund.

"Construction can be extremely costly and we are delighted to be able to help Woodland Baptist Church raise money for their new building," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "A new building will greatly benefit the community and we wish them the best of luck with their endeavors."

The Woodland Baptist Church fundraiser was hosted on April 9, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 11805 Retail Dr., Wake Forest, NC. The organization sold 173 tickets and an additional $348 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.
