The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Marvin Ridge Middle School Jr. Beta Club raise over $1,800 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards community services and transportation fees to the NC Beta Club Convention.

"Congratulations to the Marvin Ridge Middle School Jr. Beta Club on their successful fundraiser," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We are glad we could help them raise funds for their programs and we wish them the best of luck."

The Marvin Ridge Middle School Jr. Beta Club fundraiser was hosted on December 10, 2011, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 5110 Piper Station Dr., Charlotte, NC. The organization sold 290 tickets and an additional $231 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.
