National Pancake Day (at IHOP)

IHOP is continuing their tradition of National Pancake Day giving.
Starting in 2006, IHOP decided to celebrate National Pancake Day
(also known as Fat Tuesday) by giving away a free short stack of pancake to anyone who came in.
All they ask is that you try to pay it forward.

Their website states:
On Tuesday, February 24, 2009. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., we’ll give you one FREE short stack (three) of our famous buttermilk pancakes.* All we ask is that you consider making a donation to support local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network, or other local charities.

Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly two million dollars to support charities in the communities in which it operates. With your help, we hope to raise $1,000,000 for Children’s Miracle Network in 2009!

I think their goal is commendable, and I'd like to encourage you to help them achieve it.
