LANSING, MI – There’s nothing better than free buttermilk pancakes to start the day – unless you can also support children’s health at the same time.

Tuesday, Feb. 27, is National Pancake Day and the East Lansing IHOP will serve free pancakes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. In return, guests are asked to help make a difference by leaving a donation to benefit the Sparrow Children’s Center, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. The IHOP is located at 2771 E. Grand River Avenue.

National Pancake Day is being held at IHOPs throughout the nation, with the goal of raising $5 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and other charities. IHOP Restaurants nationwide expect to serve more than 5 million free pancakes on Tuesday, which, when stacked, would be nearly 19 miles high.
