Applebee's Staff Don Denim to Raise Funds for Sandy Victims

Before the holidays employees at Applebee’s Long Island restaurants put on their blue jeans in order to raise money for the American Red Cross and, in turn, Hurricane Sandy victims.

The week-long “Blue Jeans for Red Cross” program in December encouraged workers to wear jeans to work each day for a $1 donation to the ARC and its efforts to assist the victims of Sandy.

In total Applebee’s staff contributed $4,300 to the cause.
