The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bars in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Central Arkansas Knights Baseball Team raise over $1,000 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds raised will go towards team expenses.

"We always enjoy supporting local athletic teams in the community," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We were glad to help the Central Arkansas Knights Baseball Team with its fundraising efforts and we wish them a successful season."

The Central Arkansas Knights Baseball Team fundraiser was hosted on February 11, 2012, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 17348 I. 30, Benton, AR. The organization sold 160 tickets and an additional $25 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.
