The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Castle Hayne Baptist Church Youth Group raise over $1,000 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards lodging and supplies for its youth camp.

"We enjoyed helping Castle Hayne Baptist Church with its fundraising efforts and we hope the youth group has a wonderful time at camp," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group.

The Castle Hayne Baptist Church Youth Group fundraiser was hosted on July 16, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 1113 Newpoint Blvd., Leland, NC. The organization sold 145 tickets and an additional $200 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.
