Dine To Donate

For the safety of our guests and team members, we will be canceling dine and donate events scheduled in March-April; we will tentatively keep events scheduled in or after May 2020, with the understanding that this may change as CDC guidelines change related to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Host a Dine to Donate with us and keep 20% of the proceeds!

We strive to be more than your neighborhood bar and grill. At Team Schostak Applebee’s, being a great neighbor is one of our Core Values. We don’t just say it, we live it! All of our restaurants are committed to supporting local organizations like non-profits, schools and sports teams!

Thank you for inviting Applebee’s to be part of your success!

Upon approval, I agree to provide the required tax ID and W9 information as requested(if not already uploaded). I also agree to do all promotions off site and understand that handing out flyers on premise is in strict violation of this agreement and could result in a voided event. Applebee’s reserves the right to withhold any donation if a group distributes flyers at their event or on restaurant property. Only Applebee's receipts with the Dining To Donate event flyers attached will be included in our donation total when ringing in each transaction. 20% of eligible receipts collected (not including tax or gratuity) during your event will be donated to the organization.
