IHOP to raise money for children’s hospitals
For the eighth consecutive year, IHOP restaurants will offer each guest a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes on national pancake day Tuesday, Feb. 5, to raise awareness and money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and other local charities.
Customers who order a short stack of pancakes between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. are invited to make a voluntary donation to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Donations made at IHOPs in the Savannah area will benefit the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ program at Backus Children’s Hospital at Memorial Health University Medical Center.
IHOP hopes to raise $3 million this year, with a goal to bring the total amount of funds raised to more than $13 million.
IHOP served 4 million free pancakes on National Pancake Day 2012, and customers donated more than $3 million to children’s charities.
