Flapjack Fundraiser Raises Over $1,000 for EHS Volleyball

The Apple Gold Group, a franchisee of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar, is proud to have partnered with Easley High School Volleyball to raise over $1,300 at a recent Flapjack Fundraiser. All proceeds will be donated to continuing improving the volleyball program of Easley High School with the investment of new uniforms.

“The Apple Gold Group is overjoyed with the people of Easley for coming together for a Flapjack Fundraiser to support local student-athletes,” said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. “The Easley High School Volleyball Team is now ready to kick-start an amazing volleyball season, thanks to the support of local community members.”

The Easley High School Volleyball Team fundraiser was hosted on August 17, 2013, at the Applebee’s restaurant located at 5055 Calhoun Memorial Hwy., Easley, SC. The organization sold 241 tickets throughout the community with an additional $441 in donations. Breakfast included a short stack of pancakes, sausage, milk, juice and coffee.

Applebee’s is proud to partner with local nonprofit organizations as a way to raise money for their cause. From ticket sales to event-day staff, the breakfasts are managed by the nonprofit 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 one of the company’s efforts to remain active within its local neighborhood.
