IHOP, which teased a name change to IHOb earlier this month, says the “b” is to promote its burger menu. The pancake restaurant has been coy about whether the name change is truly permanent, saying Monday, June 11, 2018, that the change was “for the time being.”

Celebrate National Pancake Day — and give to a charitable cause — this Tuesday at any IHOP location.

On Tuesday, March 12, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., IHOP will host its annual Free Pancake Day campaign to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, including Intermountain Healthcare’s Primary Children’s Hospital.

Guests can receive one free short stack of buttermilk pancakes, but are asked to “flip it forward” by donating to Primary Children’s.

Utah IHOP locations raised more than $100,000 last year, according to a press release. This year, they’re aiming to gather $125,000 to give to Primary Children’s Hospital.

In the months leading up to Free Pancake Day, IHOP selected three child chefs nationwide based on submitted pancake creations. Nellie, an 8-year-old Primary Children’s patient who receives 10-hour, daily kidney dialysis treatments for the rare Dense Deposit Disease, was selected to the IHOP Kids Chef Team for her pancake recipe, “PaNellie Unicorn Cakes.”
