The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Kinston High School men's soccer team raise over $1,300 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will help purchase new uniforms and equipment.

"We were excited to help the Kinston High School men’s soccer team with its fundraising efforts and we are glad they were successful," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We wish the team luck with the remainder of its season."

The Kinston High School men's soccer team fundraiser was hosted on October 22, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 4483 Highway 70 W., Kinston, NC. The organization sold 194 tickets and an additional $274 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.
