Did you know that you can enjoy a meal that is filling and fulfilling by throwing a Dining to Donate event for your non-profit organization? Applebee’s offers this community based program to any organization meeting our basic non-profit guidelines and creates an opportunity to raise much needed funds.

It’s simple really, your group reaches out into the community – contacting your members, constituents, families and friends, encouraging them to visit Applebee’s for a meal on the pre-selected day. Those guests present their invitation and 10% of our proceeds from their checks (excluding alcohol, tax and gratuity) is donated to your organization. This is a great community builder and everyone has to eat sometime right? So far in 2008 Apple-Metro has contributed over $9,000 back to worthy organizations in all 5 boroughs, Westchester and Rockland counties, with more events coming in the next few months. At Appleebee’s we are all about supporting our neighborhoods and building community.

If you know of an organization that would benefit from the Dining to Donate program – please go into your closest Applebee’s location and fill out an information request or email KBueti@applemetro.com for more information.
