Celebrate National Pancake Day in Sarasota

Enjoy a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes Tuesday at the International House of Pancakes in celebration of National Pancake Day. 

On National Pancake Day, IHOP gives each customer a complimentary short stack in hopes to raise $3 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. 

According to an IHOP news release, "guests will be encouraged to make a voluntary contribution to the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital or other local charities. One hundred percent of the donations will help local charities provide vital equipment, life-saving procedures and critical care for sick and injured children."

The promotion runs from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at more than 1,500 participating IHOPs nationwide, including two locations in Sarasota:

• 1199 N Washington Blvd.
• 4000 S Tamiami Trail

Participating restaurants, according to IHOP, will also display balloons in celebration of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ 30-year anniversary. Those who buy a $5 Miracle Balloon will receive a $5 off discount that can be credited toward their next visit, a news release said.
