It’s free pancake day at IHOP

IHOP wants you to swing by any Colorado Springs location Tuesday for a free short stack of pancakes, but the breakfast house is also hoping to raise millions for children’s hospitals.

It’s National Pancake Day — get to one of the Springs’ six IHOPs before 7 p.m. and the short stack is yours.

While you’re there, make a donation. All of the donations go to Children’s Miracle Network, Shriners Hospitals for Children, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. IHOP says since the day began in 2006, about $30 million has been raised for community partners.

But with the allure of free pancakes, you can expect it to be busy like in past years.
