The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Rotary Club of Rocky Mount raise over $3,200 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards its youth and charitable outreach programs.

"This was a fantastic fundraising event for the Rotary Club of Rocky Mount and we were glad to be a part of it," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "Congratulations to all who participated in their success and we wish them the best of luck with their upcoming efforts."

The Rotary Club of Rocky Mount fundraiser was hosted on September 17, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 1120 Wesleyan Blvd., Rocky Mount, NC. The organization sold 537 tickets and an additional $600 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.
