Applebee's Pancake Breakfast

This fundraiser is a great way for girls to earn money for camp. In our town they offer this fundraiser every Saturday for a variety of organizations so it's important to get on their calendar! Applebee's fundraisers are scheduled only on Saturdays from 8:00-10:00AM on a first come first served basis. Applebee's provides pancakes, syrup, butter, sausage links, tea, coffee, juice, sodas, china, silverware, cups, and napkins and we are responsible for selling tickets, greeting, serving, and cleaning up after the guests.

Our girls serve the food to the guests and bus the tables. We also recruit 4-5 volunteers to cook. We sell tickets for $10/ea and this includes breakfast and a car wash. We have guests drop off their keys before they come eat and we recruit current YL college leaders to run the car wash. Applebee's asks for you to pay them a flat rate to cover the cost of the food. Contact the Manager at your Applebee's today and see if they offer the pancake breakfast fundraiser and to get on their calendar. It's an early morning (usually need to be at Applebee's by 7:30) but we've found that the girls have a blast look forward to it each year. As far as childcare see if there is nearby church that will allow you to use their nursery for a few hours.

You can always add on to this event by having a silent auction, sell extra YLVS t-shirts...and to earn a little extra money you can put tip jars on the tables! - LIsa Brown, Tallahassee, FL
