Here is what IHOP's official website had to say about National Pancake Day:
Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday.
Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly two million dollars to support charities in the communities in which it operates. With your help, we hope to raise $1,000,000 for Children’s Miracle Network in 2009!
So... if you are interested find out where you can find an IHOP near you!! Free Pancakes WORK FOR ME!! ;-)

What a great tip--thanks for the reminder! And thanks for stopping by my place today.
How fun! I love it when an establishment gives and their patrons receive. The spirit of giving just makes a place electric!
Thanks! I'll be sure and write this on my calendar.
