WHAT: In celebration of National Pancake Day, IHOP restaurants nationwide will offer each guest a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes in an effort to raise awareness and funds for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals.
This year, IHOP is hoping to serve up more donations than ever before, with a goal to raise $1.75 million, for a total of $5 million in five years with its National Pancake Day fundraising effort. Visit your Springfield IHOP Store at 2600 Sunrise Drive.
WHY: For every delicious short stack of buttermilk pancakes served on National Pancake Day, IHOP guests are invited to make a donation to Children’s Miracle Network. Donations made at IHOPs in the Champaign, Decatur & Springfield stores will benefit St. John’s Children’s Hospital, a Children’s Miracle Network hospital.
