National Pancake Day by IHOP

IHOP, Pancakes

National Pancake Day was started in 2006 by the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurant chain. IHOP offers a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes on February 28. 

Pancakes are not really free because, in return, the guests are asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and other designated local charities. 

Since the beginning of National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly $8 million to support charities

When Burke High was leading by a point, the opposite team coach pointed out the violation that the home teams are required to wear white uniform.
