The totals are in, and employees at the 28 Philadelphia area Applebee’s restaurants operated by The Rose Group have raised over $708,900 during 2016 alone.  Fundraisers like the VFW Coat Drive at the Castor Ave location and the Hometown Hero Softball Picnic in Montgomeryville couldn’t be accomplished without the work of each Applebee’s team and their partnership with the community.  

What makes The Rose Group's program stand apart from the crowd is the control each store has over the support they provide to the local community.  The employees at each location are also community members, and in giving employees the autonomy to make philanthropic decisions, The Rose Group can be confident that the funds donated are going to support significant moments or organizations in need.
