IHOP kicks off National Pancake Day campaign for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals

Beginning January 31, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals icon balloons begin landing in IHOP locations across the United States and Canada. Through February 27, U.S., Canadian and Puerto Rican IHOPs will be selling icon balloons in increments of $1, $5, $20 or $100 to show support for their local children’s hospital. Guests who purchase a $5 balloon will receive a $5 coupon good for a future purchase of $10 or more. Guests can also leave a cash contribution or on-check donation to be used in their community through March 31.

All the money raised by IHOP for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals stays local and goes directly to providing life-saving medical treatment and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care for children in need.

Funds raised help kids like Sasha, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. To help manage the physical challenges of her cerebral palsy, she participates in the art therapy programs at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) which have helped Sasha heal through art.

National Pancake Day

To celebrate National Pancake Day, visit IHOP on Tuesday, February 27, to enjoy a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes and then make a donation to your CMN Hospital. Invite your friends and family to join in the fun and share your support of your local children’s hospital on social media using #NATLpancakeday.

To mark IHOP’s 60th year in business, IHOP has set an ambitious goal of raising $5 million for children’s hospitals and medical research through March 31 – plus serving a record-breaking five million pancakes on National Pancake Day.
