The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Crossroads Church Navajo Mission Trip raise over $1,100 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards the group’s annual trip to Arizona to help Navajo Indians rebuild and repair housing.

"The Crossroads Navajo Mission Trip is an extremely generous group and we were delighted to support their cause," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We are glad their fundraiser was a success and we wish them the best of luck with their trip."

The Crossroads Navajo Mission Trip fundraiser was hosted on March 31, 2012, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 8018 Concord Mills Blvd., Concord, NC. The organization sold 175 tickets and an additional $185 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.
