IHOP will make it easy for flapjack fans to get their fix this month, all while helping the kids at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

In celebration of National Pancake Day, IHOP restaurants across the country are serving up free short stacks to their customers Tuesday, Feb. 28. The annual day-long breakfast bash, which runs from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., helps raise awareness and donations for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and other local charities.

Customers can snag their free short stack of buttermilk pancakes at any Milwaukee-area IHOP restaurant. All donations made to these restaurants will benefit the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals' programs at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
