IHOP is flipping free pancakes today

- STAFF REPORT

Flapjacks aren’t just for breakfast. Today, five local IHOP restaurant­s will be flipping free flapjacks from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (or later) to benefit the health of kids in the area.

On National Pancake Day, IHOP guests receive a free short stack of the brand’s original buttermilk pancakes. In return, guests are asked to leave a donation of any size, with all funds collected in the Chattanoog­a region going to T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital at Erlanger.

“Last year, our local IHOP locations raised more than $10,000 for Children’s Hospital at Erlanger,” said Rebecca Brinkley, director of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at Children’s Hospital at Erlanger. “We are so appreciati­ve of their hard work and continued support as we focus on raising funds for the first phase of our new Children’s Hospital.” The participat­ing IHOP restaurant­s are at:

› 5814 Brainerd Road in Chattanoog­a.

› 5113 Highway 153 in Hixson.

› 2047 Battlefiel­d Parkway in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.

› 1510 Walnut Ave. in Dalton, Ga.

› 4323 Freedom Parkway NW in Cleveland, Tenn. “For 60 years, IHOP and our franchisee­s have made it our mission to support the communitie­s we serve. IHOP National Pancake Day is our declaratio­n to pancake lovers everywhere that we are committed to giving back in meaningful ways,” said Darren Rebelez, president of IHOP. Every stack of pancakes we serve on our signature day counts towards helping our charity partners improve the health and lives of millions of children and families across the country.”
