Free Pancakes at IHOP For 2016 National Pancake Day

By MICHAEL WOYTON (Patch Staff)

Do you like free pancakes?

That was a rhetorical question.

IHOP will celebrate its 11th annual National Pancake Day on Tuesday, March 8.

From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m, IHOP customers will be able to chow down on a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes.

In return for the free pancakes, guests will be asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals or other designated local charities.

Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP restaurants have raised nearly $20 million to support charities in the communities in which they operate.
