IHOP restaurants in Santa Barbara County will be celebrating National Pancake Day this year on Tuesday, February 28, by offering guests a FREE short stack of buttermilk pancakes throughout the day and night.   IHOP is partnering with the Children’s Miracle Network to encourage guests who enjoy free pancakes to make a donation that will benefit Cottage Children’s Hospital in Santa Barbara.   Cottage Children’s Hospital is a proud member of the Children’s Miracle Network, which is an alliance of premier children’s hospitals.   Enjoy a short stack of pancakes on February 28 and make a donation to help children battling illness and injury.   Each year, Cottage Children’s Hospital holds its Children’s Miracle Network Care for Kids Benefit  Mediathon which raises close to $500,000 in generous contributions from the community to fund services for children throughout Santa Barbara County and surrounding areas. This year’s mediathon will be broadcast on Rincon Broadcasting radio stations, K-Lite and Radio Bronco, on May 1-2 and KEYT-TV Channel 3 on May 1.
