Applebee's Bar and Grill donated $113,273 to the U.S. Marines Corps in support of its Toys for Tots program.
The funds were raised during Applebee’s annual Breakfast with Santa events held in New Jersey, Long Island, Florida and Georgia, and 100 percent of the proceeds benefitted underprivileged children in local communities during the holiday season.
Over the past 19 years, Applebee’s locations owned and operated by Doherty Enterprises in New Jersey, Long Island, Florida and Georgia – which donated a combined total of $244,647 as a result of its 2017 Breakfast with Santa fundraiser – have raised more than $4.1 million for the Toys for Tots initiative, helping to spread holiday cheer to over 230,000 deserving children.
Applebee's has a location in Newton.
