East Lansing IHOP will be serving up free short stacks of buttermilk pancakes to support mid-Michigan kids during National Pancake Day on Tuesday, March 4.
This family-friendly tradition aims to raise needed funds and awareness for Sparrow Children's Center, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital. For every short stack of buttermilk pancakes served from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at our local IHOP, 2771 E. Grand River Ave., guests will be invited to make a donation to benefit the Sparrow Children's Center.
Since 2006, IHOP National Pancake Day has raised more than $10 million to provide life-saving treatment and medical equipment for young Patients, including the 46,000 treated annually at Sparrow. For more information, visit www.IHOPpancakeday.com.
For more than a century, Sparrow has been a leader in caring for children. The first hospital in mid-Michigan to offer a dedicated children's unit, Sparrow today is home to the region's only full-service pediatric emergency department. As the region's Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Sparrow is able to provide the most advanced technology and treatment options in pediatric and neonatal care.
