This month, the five IHOP locations in Eastern Kansas began raising money for Children’s Miracle Network at Stormont Vail Health by asking every guest to donate to their balloon campaign. IHOP will end the campaign with National Pancake Day, where they give away their world famous, buttermilk pancakes in exchange for a generous donation from their guests. Plan to join Stormont Vail Health’s Miracle Kids for free pancakes to celebrate National Pancake Day and raise funds for children’s services at Stormont Vail Health.

Last year, local IHOP locations increased the amount raised by over 127%. Funds raised through the IHOP campaign and National Pancake Day will underwrite the cost of programs and services at Stormont Vail Health, including the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) support, the Breastfeeding Clinic, Child Life Services and much more. Donations like these allow Stormont Vail Health to see almost 42,000 unique patients between the ages of 0 and 18 annually.

Each location is also encouraging community members to volunteer on National Pancake Day. Volunteers can register at the following link: https://ihopvolunteer.childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org/
