The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Deer Creek High School Volleyball Team raise over $1,300 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will directly benefit the team.

"We are always proud to support the fundraising efforts of students in the community," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "Congratulations to the Deer Creek volleyball team for their successful event and the best of luck with the remainder of the season."

The Deer Creek High School Volleyball Team fundraiser was hosted on September 24, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 2610 W. Memorial Road, Oklahoma City, OK. The organization sold 290 tickets and an additional $182 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.
