ELMIRA, N.Y. ( WETM ) – Local Applebee's restaurants will be expanding their Carryout for a Cause fundraiser in the spirit of National Be Kind to Humankind Week. As the upcoming school year starts, participating organizations will now earn an increased percentage of 20%, before tax and gratuity, from takeout sales at Applebee's restaurants. When the program was first introduced in 2021, organizations earned 15% of sales. The program will support local non-profit organizations and schools. Participating Elmira-Corning area locations include Elmira, Erwin, Ithaca and Hornell.
