Mark your calendar or set your alarm. IHOP restaurants (11 Twin Cities locations) will be offering a free short stack of
pancakes (3 large buttermilk pancakes, a $4.99 item) between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28.
In return diners will be asked to make a voluntary donation to support the Children's Miracle Network at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul. (The designated charity varies in other parts of the country.) IHOP has raised more than $8 million for charities nationwide since it started the program in 2006.
And it's being offered all day long, so the crush of customers can be spread throughout the day.
