About IHOP


IHOP partners with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals for IHOP Free Pancake Day each year. Tuesday, March 12, 2019 is IHOP Free Pancake Day with the goal of raising $4 million. IHOP has raised more than $22 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals so far.

During this event, nearly 1,300 IHOP locations across the United States and Canada invite guests to enjoy a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes — and, in return, give a suggested donation of $5 per stack. All donations made at participating IHOP restaurants support the local children’s hospital.

Beginning January 29 through IHOP Free Pancake Day on March 12, participating IHOP locations will also sell Miracle Balloons for $1 and $5 each to benefit member Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. All icon proceeds will help provide life-saving care, equipment and therapy programs across North America. Customers who purchase a $5 Miracle Balloon will receive a $5 discount off of a $10 purchase that can be used during their next dining visit.

For over 59 years, the IHOP family restaurant chain has served its world famous pancakes and a wide variety of beloved breakfast, lunch and dinner items. IHOP offers its guests an affordable, everyday dining experience with warm and friendly service.
