Join IHOP to celebrate National Pancake Day on Tuesday, February 24 from 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. You’ll get one free short stack (3) butermilk pancakes. All that IHOP asks is that you consider making a donation to support local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network, or other local charities.
History of National Pancake Day
Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday.
Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly two million dollars to support charities in the communities in which it operates. With your help, we hope to raise $1,000,000 for Children’s Miracle Network in 2009!
