The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Raleigh First Church of the Nazarene raise over $2,500 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards a woman and her family in the Garner area who is suffering from a brain tumor and paralysis from a surgical malpractice.

"This was a great fundraising cause and we are glad the Raleigh First Church of the Nazarene received a great deal of support for it," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group.

The Raleigh First Church of the Nazarene fundraiser was hosted on September 17, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 1165 US Highway 70 W., Garner, NC. The organization raised $2,500. 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.
