In celebration of Children’s Miracle Network Hospital’s 32^th Anniversary and IHOP’s National Pancake Day, IHOP will host the largest pancake party in the country on Tuesday, March 3 from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. The daylong celebration will allow guests to enjoy a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes. In return, guests will be encouraged to make a voluntary contribution to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, which improve the lives of children at 170 network hospitals across the U.S.

In addition, IHOP will host “Pancakes with Patients” at Children’s Hospital, Navicent Health on Monday, March 2 at 9:00 a.m. This is not a public event, but media are invited to attend.

One hundred percent of funds raised at central Georgia IHOP locations on Tuesday, March 3 will benefit Children’s Hospital, Navicent Health – a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Patrons who wish to support Children’s Hospital, Navicent Health may choose to dine at the following locations:

· Macon - 165 Tom Hill Sr. Boulevard

· Milledgeville – 2598 N. Columbia Street

· Warner Robins – 2710 Watson Boulevard

IHOP’s goal is to raise $3.5 million nationally.

There is a limit of one free short stack per guest, and the offer is valid at participating restaurants for dine-in only while supplies last, and is not valid with any other offer, special, coupon or discount.
