Get a free short stack Tuesday

BOARDMAN — In celebration of National Pancake Day on Tuesday, IHOP restaurants nationwide and locally will offer each guest a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. in an effort to raise awareness and funds for local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

For every short stack of buttermilk pancakes served on National Pancake Day, IHOP guests are invited to make a donation to their local Children’s Miracle Network hospital.

Locally, National Pancake Day celebrations will take place at the Boardman and Warren IHOP locations, 833 Boardman-Poland Road in Boardman and 1980 Niles-Cortland Road in Warren, with all proceeds from the local events benefiting Akron Children’s Hospital Mahoning Valley, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

Also, Children’s Miracle Network “Miracle Balloons” will be sold for $1 and $5 each and will be personalized and displayed at participating IHOP restaurants through Tuesday.
