Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday, or National Pancake Day is February 24th this year.
And from 7am to 10 pm that day, IHOP is again giving away pancakes to each “guest.” You can read the fine print, but the gist is one stack per person, and don’t use any other coupons.
A donation isn’t required, but they’ll remind you they’re collecting money for the Children’s Miracle Network. We wrote about the group in August when DQ had a giveaway for them:
Children’s Miracle Network, “a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children’s hospitals,” met the Better Business Bureau standard for Charity Accountability. According to the BBB, the organization’s 2005-2006 use of funds was: Programs: 90% Fund Raising: 4% Administrative: 5% Other Expenses: 1% — Blizzard Forecast for Lakeland Tomorrow
We’ll mention the event as we get closer to Mardi Gras, excuse me, Pancake Day, but we wanted to help you mark your calendar early.
Bio: The short line? Father, husband, writer. My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for the news sites, Lakeland Local, a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida, and Metro i4 News, which covers the Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida. Both sites feature the work of myself and other contributors. As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent -- Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun.
