(Madera, California) – Talk about a delicious way to help kids in your community! Enjoy a complimentary short stack of pancakes and help Valley Children’s Hospital during IHOP’s 15th annual National Pancake Day on Tuesday, Feb. 25, from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. at participating IHOP restaurants. In return, guests are asked to help make a difference by leaving a donation of any size in the restaurant. All funds collected between the Merced to Tulare areas will directly benefit Valley Children’s, which provides pediatric healthcare services to more than 1.3 million children in 12 counties.
In addition to a free short stack of pancakes, IHOP is giving guests the chance to win free pancakes for life and other prizes. While at an IHOP on Feb. 25, guests can simply scan the QR code on their table tent to see if they’re an instant prize winner. They can also enter their email address for a chance to win pancakes for life.
IHOP and its franchisees have set a goal of raising $4 million to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH), including Valley Children’s. IHOP Free Pancake Day is the brand’s signature day of giving to children battling life-threatening illnesses and underscores its longstanding commitment to helping families create more moments together.
CMNH is a network of 170 healthcare providers dedicated to treating children facing life-threatening illnesses. Since 2009, IHOP has donated more than $143,000 to Valley Children’s.
