STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It's National Pancake Day and IHOP is celebrating by offering customers a free short stack of its original buttermilk pancakes in exchange for a donation to one of its children's charities.
The event is the centerpiece for IHOP's 60 Days of Giving campaign -- to mark IHOP's 60th year in business -- that aims to raise $5 million for children's hospitals and medical research.
On Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with select locations participating until 10 p.m., guests can receive a free short stack.
The Staten Island IHOP restaurant is located at 935 Richmond Ave., Graniteville.
"For 60 years, IHOP and our franchisees have made it our mission to support the communities we serve. IHOP National Pancake Day is our declaration to pancake lovers everywhere that we are committed to giving back in meaningful ways," said Darren Rebelez, president of IHOP, in a statement.
IHOP and its franchisees have raised almost $30 million for youth health, wellness and educational organizations since 2006.
All of the money raised during this year's two-month campaign will stay local and benefit thousands of children's hospitals across the country.
Participating charities include the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, the Shriners Hospitals for Children and the Lukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Kiwanis International is the restaurant's volunteer partner on the fundraiser.
