Eat Pancakes, Help Kids on National Pancake Day

IHOP National Pancake Day is February 25! Eat pancakes, help kids, here’s how:

Visit participating IHOP locations on February 25 to celebrate IHOP’s National Pancake Day and help kids treated at the Mohawk Valley Health System.

It’s easy to celebrate IHOP National Pancake Day! Here’s how:

  1. Visit a participating IHOP location on February 25 and donate to your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in exchange for a free short stack of pancakes.
  2. Invite your friends and family to join you and share that you’re supporting your local children’s hospital on social media using #NATLPancakeDay

You might think it’s just a day to get a free short stack of delicious IHOP buttermilk pancakes, but it actually is a day that makes a BIG difference for kids treated at our hospital. Kids like Grayson. Grayson was born prematurely at 34 weeks and had to spend time in our Level II Special Care Nursery at the St. Luke’s Campus before he was strong enough to go home. Thanks to your generosity, CMN Hospitals funds the Special Care Nursery and allowed Grayson to stay close to home during a critical time, with family at his side.

Why you should help?

Did you know that 62 kids enter a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital every minute? That’s more than 10 million kids every year. Donations raised at IHOP on National Pancake Day help fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care. The Mohawk Valley Health System continues to enhance maternal and child services we provide for our community. We are able provide state-of -the art equipment, community programs and staff education, so that every baby and child treated at The Mohawk Valley Health System receives the best possible care.
