IHOP pancake day to benefit charities

IHOP restaurants nationwide will attempt to raise $1.75 million for Children’s Miracle Network and other local charities during its celebration of National Pancake Day.

From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Feb. 23 the restaurants will offer guests a free stack of three of its signature buttermilk pancakes, and in return, ask them to donate what they would have paid for the pancakes, or more, to designated local charities.
