The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Roanoke Valley Youth Fellowship Baseball League raise over $2,100 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will help cover the league’s various expenses.

"Baseball leagues are great ways for youth to join together in their communities and participate in a sport they enjoy," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We are glad we could help the Roanoke Valley Youth Fellowship Baseball League raise money for their expenses and we wish them luck as they prepare for their upcoming season."

The Roanoke Valley Youth Fellowship Baseball League fundraiser was hosted on May 14, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 210 Premier Blvd., Roanoke Rapids, NC. The organization sold 384 tickets for the breakfast, which 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.
