The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee’s restaurants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, is proud to have helped the Wakefield High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Men’s Lacrosse Teams raise over $1,900 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will directly benefit the lacrosse program.

"Congratulations to the Wakefield Lacrosse Teams for their successful fundraising event," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We were delighted to be a part of their efforts and we wish them continued success this season."

The Wakefield High School Lacrosse Teams Flapjack Fundraiser was hosted on April 14, 2012, by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 11805 Retail Dr., Wake Forest, NC. The organization sold 304 tickets and an additional $62 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.
