IHOP
The restaurant chain IHOP, an abbreviation for the International House of Pancakes, coined the term National Pancake Day and has offered free pancakes on the day since 2006. It offers a free stack of three pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m on February 24. In return, they ask for voluntary donations to the charity Children's Miracle Network. The chain raised about $2 million total for the charity in 2006, 2007 and 2008.Detroit Free Press: Free Fat Tuesday pancakes with donation at IHOP (February 23, 2009)Other Names
