IHOP Serving Free Short Stacks for National Pancake Day

IHOP restaurants around the country will serve free short stacks of pancakes today as part of National Pancake Day.

Participating IHOP restaurants will be serving the free pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Those eating them will be asked to make a voluntary donation to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

The chain began the tradition in 2006, and claims to have raised nearly $8 million to support charities in the communities in which it operates.

Children's Miracle Network Hospitals raises money for children's hospitals in the United States.

Last year, IHOP served an estimated 4 million free pancakes on National Pancake Day, according to restaurant officials.

San Bruno residents can get their pancake fill at the San Bruno IHOP location at 590 El Camino Real.
