Get a FREE short stack of pancakes at IHOP when you make a donation to children's charities on March 7th

On Tuesday, March 7, 2017, IHOP^® Restaurants across the United States will be giving away to each visitor from 7a.m. to 7 p.m. a free short stack* of freshly made buttermilk pancakes.  In return, guests are asked to help eradicate life-threatening diseased affecting children and families by making a donation that will be shared with IHOP's three National Pancake Day partner charities.  The restaurant chain is hoping to raise $3.5 million dollars through the event to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and Shriners Hospitals for Children.  Please consider stopping by your local IHOP to support pancakes with a purpose.

 CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK HOSPITALS

Since 1983, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals^® have raised more than $5 billion for 170 member hospitals that provide 32 million medical treatments to kids across the U.S. and Canada each year.

SHRINERS HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN

Shriners Hospitals for Children^® are changing lives every day through innovative pediatric specialty care, world-class research and outstanding medical education.

LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY

The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society^® is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma as well as improving the quality of life for patients and their families.

Donations can be made in-restaurant added to a tab or in lieu of a bill if the only item ordered is the complementary short stacks. Restaurant guests can also purchase a "Wall Icon" to publicly pledge their support to the cause on display at the IHOP purchased with the funds going to support the charities.  Some IHOP locations will also be providing a discount coupon for a future visit to everyone who purchases a wall icon.   All the funds raised will stay as close to the local communities they are raised in as possible being donated to the charity partners' local hospital affiliates.
