The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Carl Albert Middle School Pom Squad raise over $1,700 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will help fund state and national competitions.

"We enjoyed working with the Carl Albert Middle School Pom Squad and we are delighted they had a successful fundraising event," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We wish them the best of luck with their upcoming competitions."

The Carl Albert Middle School Pom Squad fundraiser was hosted on June 4, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 608 Air Depot Blvd., Midwest City, OK. The organization sold 226 tickets and an additional $350 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.
