The Apple Gold Group, a franchisee of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar, is proud to have helped the Greensboro Blazers Track Club raise over $1,000 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. Proceeds raised will go towards defraying costs for children to attend the national track and field competition in Houston, TX.

"Our team valued the opportunity to help members of the Greensboro Blazers experience their sport on the national stage," said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. "We would like to wish the team the best of luck in its future meets."

The Greensboro Blazers Track Club fundraiser was hosted on July 15, 2012, at the Applebee’s restaurant located at 3865 John Gordon Ln., High Point, NC. The organization sold 150 tickets. 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.
