The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Newport Pop Warner Cheerleading Squad raise over $1,800 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards travel fees for competitions.

"Congratulations to the Newport Pop Warner Cheerleaders for their successful fundraiser," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We’re glad they chose our Flapjack Fundraiser program to support their efforts and we wish them the best of luck with their upcoming competitions."

The Newport Pop Warner Cheerleading Squad fundraiser was hosted on November 19, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 5183 Highway 70 W., Morehead City, NC. The organization sold 300 tickets and an additional $141 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.
