IHOP, one of America’s favorite restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, has announced plans to serve free pancakes as part of the company’s philanthropic National Pancake Day on Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2012.
Participating IHOP restaurants in Anchorage and Wasilla are inviting guests to enjoy a free short stack of IHOP’s signature buttermilk pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. as part of the seventh annual National Pancake Day. Guests are invited to donate what they would have paid for the free pancakes, or more, to The Children’s Hospital at Providence or other worthy causes.
Additionally, The Children’s Hospital at Providence “Miracle Balloons” will be sold for $1 and $5 each and will be personalized and displayed at participating IHOP restaurants from February 1 through March 1, 2012. Miracle Balloons offer guests an additional way to show their support of The Children’s Hospital at Providence and contribute to the IHOP National Pancake Day fundraising effort.
Since the inception of its National Pancake Day in 2006, IHOP has raised more than $5.35 million to support charities in the communities in which it operates. In 2010 alone, IHOP served more than four million free pancakes and raised over $2.1 million in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and other local charities.
