Applebee's Partnership

Applebee's Grill and Bar Restaurants in North Dakota and East Grand Forks, Minnesota work with local DECA advisors and chapters to provide a Pancake Breakfast during DECA Week. The 5th Annual Breakfast was held October 16, 2010 in Bismarck, Minot, Jamestown, Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, and Fargo. Chapters earned more than $10,000 from ticket sales to the Pancake Breakfast. These dollars are used to attend conferences, sponsor local activities, or contribute to the operation of the local chapter. Applebee's presents a DECA member with a $1,000 Scholarship at the State DECA Conference each year.
