IHOP National Pancake Day is February 25

Eat pancakes, help kids– we flip for this winning combo!

Here’s how easy it is to celebrate IHOP National Pancake Day:

  1. Visit a participating IHOP location on Tuesday, February 25, and donate to your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in exchange for a free short stack of pancakes.
  2. Invite your friends and family to join you and share that you’re supporting your local children’s hospital on social media using #NATLPancakeDay

The five locations listed below are raising money to help kids treated at Cottage Children’s Medical Center:

  • 1114 Casitas Pass Road, Carpinteria
  • 1701 State Street, Santa Barbara
  • 4765 Calle Real, Santa Barbara
  • 202 Nicholson Ave., Santa Maria
  • 212 Madonna Road, San Luis Obispo

You might think it’s just a day to get a free short stack of delicious IHOP buttermilk pancakes, but it actually is a day that makes a BIG difference for kids treated at our hospital. Kids like Colton, who you can see in the video below. Colton was born prematurely at 25 weeks and spent 107 days in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Donations raised at IHOP on National Pancake Day help fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care.

To thank you for helping kids on National Pancake Day, guests can enter to win pancakes for life or 250,000 other prizes by scanning the QR code on the table tent on February 25.

Thanks to IHOP for supporting our hospital and to all of you for enjoying free pancakes and helping kids!
