Do you love having pancakes for breakfast at IHOP? Well, how about getting them for free?

Tomorrow – February 23, 2010 – is the National Pancake Day Celebration, and IHOP will be hosting its free pancake event from 7AM – 10AM as a part of their fundraising effort for Children’s Miracle Network.

I called up IHOP Jersey City and asked about it; they said the event will be from 7AM – 9AM only, instead of 10AM.

About National Pancake Day

February 23, 2010

Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised more than $3.25 million to support charities in the communities in which it operates. While IHOP’s National Pancake Day typically takes place on Shrove Tuesday, this year the company will host its free pancake event on Tuesday, February 23, extending the fundraising window by one week to maximize donations for Children’s Miracle Network. With your help, we hope to raise $5 million in five years for Children’s Miracle Network and other local charities through your donations in 2010!

Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday.
