IHOP To Give Out Free Short Stacks On March 3rd For National Pancake Day

For the 10th year, IHOP will be handing out free short stacks of pancakes at locations across the U.S.

IHOP has been celebrating 'National Pancake Day' for a decade as a way to raise donations for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide.

This year the chain hopes to raise $3.5 million, which would bring the total raised over the past ten years to $20 million.

On National Pancake day, customers can get their free short stack in exchange for a small donation to the Children's Miracle Network.

Locally, you can get your free short stack at the IHOP on French Road in New Hartford all day from 7 a.m. until closing at 10 p.m.

In 2014 IHOP served 4.2 million free pancakes and collected nearly $3 million as part of National Pancake Day, enough to create a stack nearly 12 miles high.

Since the first National Pancake Day in 2006, IHOP has raised almost $16 million and given away more than 26 million pancakes t support local charities.
