I never knew there was such a thing as National Pancake Day. Since I love pancakes, however, I was very excited to make that discovery. Apparently, Tuesday, February 28th is National Pancake Day. This year IHOP is celebrating by offering free pancakes to its customers.
Here is how the deal works. You show up at your local IHOP restaurant on February 28th between the hours of 7 am and 10 pm and order a short stack of the restaurant’s famous buttermilk pancakes. You will not be charged for the pancakes at all. Instead, IHOP hopes you will find it in your heart to donate any dollar amount to the Children’s Miracle Network of hospitals.
Of course, the restaurant chain cannot force you to make a donation for the pancakes if you don’t want to, but as a mother of a special needs child, I see the need that the families who utilize the Children’s Miracle Network face. I would urge you to consider at least donating what the cost of the pancakes would have been.
This year, IHOP has a goal to raise 2.7 million dollars for charity. In order for you to help them meet that goal, you can take advantage of the Celebrity Wake-Up Call offer on the IHOP website. There are a few celebrities you can choose from to wake you up including, Marie Osmond, David Archuleta, Boo Boo Stewart, Branden Meyer, or Jordin Sparks. You just need to fill in your name, telephone number, and the time you want them to wake you up.
I think this offer is a win-win for everyone. I am signing-off to mark my calendar!
