Omaha, NE – Join in the pancake pandemonium as IHOP serves up FREE pancakes in celebration of National Pancake Day on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2008, at IHOP restaurants in Omaha, Lincoln and around the country.
From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., anyone can enjoy one free short stack of IHOP's famous buttermilk pancakes. In return, guests are asked to make a voluntary donation to the Children’s Miracle Network. All donations made at Omaha and Lincoln IHOP restaurants will stay in the community, benefiting Children’s Hospital.
2008 marks the third year for IHOP’s charitable observance of National Pancake Day. More than 1,300 IHOP restaurants throughout the United States participate. Last year’s event raised more than $625,000 nationally for children’s hospitals and other worthy causes as restaurants served up more than 1.1 million stacks of pancakes to hungry guests.
The free pancakes offer is valid at participating restaurants for dine-in only. One free stack per guest, please. For more information on this campaign or to find an IHOP near you, please visit www.ihop.com.
