Lets Talk Pancakes

IHOP Pancake Day and the Children Miracle Network March 8th

One of our proudest partnerships is with Children’s Miracle Network, a preferred charity of Key Club International. As members of the Kiwanis family, we have another chance in 2016 to support a partner and fulfill our shared mission of service to children.

Kiwanis family members in the United States and Canada can register now to volunteer on IHOP National Pancake Day, March 8, 2016. On that day, we’ll help raise funds at IHOP locations for CMN. Members sign up in shifts and will be provided a training video and talking points. This is an easy way to give back to your local hospital by volunteering just a few hours of your time.

Over the past 10 years, National Pancake Day has raised almost US$20 million for CMN. For the Kiwanis family, it’s a chance to fulfill the Kiwanis mission of service to children, and to be a voice on behalf of your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

As one Miracle Child who beat leukemia says: “I think if everybody knew that the free pancakes they were enjoying could help kids in need, people would give generously.”

So help spread the word…and raise funds! Let’s join IHOP and CMN to put a purpose behind the pancakes. Volunteer your time on National Pancake Day. Bring up National Pancake Day up at your next club meeting and recruit a team to volunteer on National Pancake Day.
