Hawaii IHOP restaurants will celebrate Free Pancake Day® on Tuesday, March 12, 2019, by offering each guest a free short stack of its famous buttermilk pancakes*. This annual family-friendly tradition aims to raise needed funds and awareness for Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children, Hawaii’s only Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.
For every short stack of buttermilk pancakes served on IHOP’s 14th annual Free Pancake Day between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., IHOP guests are invited to make a voluntary donation to Kapiolani. Since 2006, IHOP Free Pancake Day has raised close to $30 million to provide lifesaving treatment, programs and medical equipment for young patients at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide, including Kapiolani.
IHOP and its franchisees are “Flipping it Forward” and have a goal of raising $4 million during the campaign to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and other children’s health and wellness organizations. This year, IHOP expects to serve a record-breaking 5 million pancakes in a single day to support its charity partners. All the money raised during this year’s campaign will stay local and benefit thousands of children’s hospitals across the country. For example, funds that were raised locally on IHOP Free Pancake Day in 2018 helped Kapiolani fund programs and services, purchase medical equipment, assist with neighbor island travel, and support research and education.
“We are grateful for our continued partnership with IHOP Hawaii in celebration of Free Pancake Day,” said Martha Smith, chief executive officer of Kapiolani. “This event raises funds to support programs and services to care for all of Hawaii’s children, and we thank the community for their support.”
