Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly $8 million to support charities in the communities in which it operates. On February 28, guests from around the country are invited to celebrate National Pancake Day at IHOP and enjoy a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes.

For every short stack of buttermilk pancakes served on National Pancake Day, which happens to be February 28 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., IHOP guests are invited to make a voluntary donation to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. IHOP hopes to raise $2.7 million this year, with a goal to bring the total amount of funds raised to more than $10 million.

The IHOP in Beaufort is located near Wal-Mart at 266 Robert Smalls Parkway and there is one location in Bluffton and one on Hilton Head Island.
