Mardi Gras is here and on Fat Tuesday, February 24, IHOPs across the nation will be offering a free stack of pancakes. That’s right! Come into a participating IHOP and get a stack of 3 pancakes for FREE! Coincidentally, February 24th is also National Pancake Day.

IHOP is hoping that you will make a donation instead to the Children’s Miracle Network in exchange for the free Pancakes. No the pancakes aren’t in Gold, Green and Purple to celebrate Fat Tuesday, but you can have your choice of Blueberry, Old Fashioned and Boysenberry syrups!

The free pancakes are available from 7am to 10pm local time. Last year, IHOP was able to raise more than $875,000 through this promotion. No pressure, though. You can always eat the pancakes and support this charity and others in any way you see fit at another time.
