IHOP hopes to raise $1 million for children’s charities.

Who knew there was a National Pancake Day? Evidently IHOP knew, as the restaurant is giving away free pancakes (one stack of three pancakes per person) of buttermilk pancakes in celebration of National Pancake Day Tuesday, Feb. 24, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The International House of Pancakes is asking patrons to make a donation on National Pancake Day to support children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network or other charities.
