Applebee's presents foundation contribution

Applebee's presents the local Make-A-Wish Foundation chapter a check from a portion of their soft opening sales during Monday's grand opening. The check was also presented to 8-year-old Paige Phoebig, who has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Her wish was to go to Hawaii.

The local chapter of the foundation partnered with Sidney Regional Medical Center and the Make-A-Wish Foundation to send Phoebig and her immediate family to Hawaii for five days in July. Paige's favorite thing about the trip is swimming with the dolphins.
