The event at IHOP is a fundraiser for C-M-N  and the weather kept donations down last year. The idea is pretty simple, stop in to IHOP between sevenTuesday morning and ten at night. You'll get a free stack of pancakes, and in exchange,  they're asking for a donation to the Children's Miracle Network. It's just one of many events each year that keeps C-M-N going.

Betty Quasney says, "Every event helps tremendously. 100% of the donations stay here. Usually, IHOP raises anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500. And I know this year, Robin is working very hard on the preparations for tomorrow for National Pancake Day. And she's already been working on selling the balloons and different items up at IHOP."

Nationally,  IHOP is hoping to raise three million dollars.
