The money was raised during Applebee’s annual Breakfast with Santa fundraising events in New Jersey and Long Island -- 100 percent of the proceeds went to the cause, "to benefit underprivileged children to brighten the holidays, unify local communities and deliver a message of hope," according to a press release.

In the past 17 years, Applebee’s locations owned and operated by Doherty Enterprises in New Jersey, Long Island, Florida and Georgia have raised more than $3.6 million for the Toys for Tots initiative, spreading holiday cheer to more than 230,000 deserving children.
