IHOP is celebrating National Pancake Day on Feb. 5 by giving out free pancakes.

It’s also a day to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The goal is to raise $3 million.

During National Pancake Day more than 1,500 IHOP restaurants — including South Lake Tahoe — invite guests to enjoy a complimentary stack of IHOP’s signature delicious buttermilk pancakes from 7am-10pm. Guests will be encouraged to make a voluntary contribution to the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital or other local charities. One hundred percent of the donations will help local charities provide vital equipment, life-saving procedures and critical care for sick and injured children.
