Pancake Giveaway at IHOP Raises Money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals

Got lunch or supper plans today?

Head to , where you can get free pancakes. Yep, free.

Each customer will get a short stack of buttermilk pancakes free of charge. On the house. For nothing. Zip.

Instead of paying a check, everyone eating is asked to give money to a charity on Free Pancake Day. IHOP does this annually, raising money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

Since the pancake restaurant began having an eat-on-us day, it has raised almost $8 million nationally for the network. This year, IHOP wants its customers across the country to contribute more than $2.5 million.

So, why not have some pancakes?
