Easley Gymnastics to Hold Flapjack Fundraiser

Applebee's to host Flapjack Fundraiser.

The Apple Gold Group, a franchisee of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar, is proud to partner with the Easley Gymnastics Training Center to host a Flapjack Fundraiser on Saturday, August 24, 2013. All proceeds raised will go toward the operation of this gymnastics center that teaches strength, flexibility and agility.

“The Easley Gymnastics Training Center creates athletic individuals who gain more than physical strength and fitness, but a sense of healthy living,” said Michael Olander, President and CEO of the Apple Gold Group. “Please join this group on August 24 for an exciting morning full of flapjacks and fundraising.”

The Easley Gymnastic Training Center fundraiser will be hosted by the Applebee’s restaurant located at 5055 Calhoun Memorial Hwy., Easley, SC starting at 7 a.m. Tickets for the Flapjack Fundraiser are $7 and can be purchased by contacting Lisa Hall at (864) 423-7702. Breakfast includes 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.
