NATIONAL PANCAKE DAY, AND I MISSED IT!

Marion Pellicano Ambrose

I can’t believe I missed it!!! Yesterday( Feb. 28^th) was National Pancake Day! I could have been feasting on Chocolate Chip, Peach, Bananas Foster or plain old Buttermilk Pancakes at IHOP for FREE!  Oh well, there’s always next year!

Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly $8 million to support charities in the communities in which it operates. On February 28, 2012, guests from around the country are invited to celebrate National Pancake Day at IHOP and enjoy a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes. In return for the free pancakes, guests are asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals  and other designated local charities.

If you missed going to IHOP today, you can still contribute to the Children’s Miracle Network at: CMNHospitals.org.

And I might just head over to IHOP in the morning for breakfast, even if it’s not free!
