Join IHOP to celebrate National Pancake Day Today, Tuesday, February 23, 2010. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., they'll give you one free short stack (three) of buttermilk pancakes. All they ask is that you consider making a donation to support local children's hospitals through Children's Miracle Network, or other local charities.
National Pancake Day celebration began in 2006. Since then IIHOP 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.
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.
