Guests Who Sign up for MyHOP Email Club by
March 31 Will Receive a Free Short Stack Redeemable Throughout
April 2021
Donations Collected in Restaurants, on Checks
or Online Benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and Other
Charities
For more than 15 years, IHOP has celebrated National Pancake
Day®, a one-day, in-restaurant event where guests can enjoy a free
Short Stack* of IHOP’s signature buttermilk pancakes, while also
supporting the brand’s national and local charity partners. Despite
an unwavering love of pancaking together under IHOP’s iconic blue
roof, the safety of guests and team members remains IHOP’s top
priority. With that in mind, IHOP today announced the brand is
cancelling its annual one-day celebration – and flipping it into a
month-long event, issuing an IOU for a free Short Stack to be
redeemed throughout the month of April.

To qualify for the offer, IHOP is giving its nearly 9 million
existing MyHOP email club members - and those who register for
MyHOP by March 31, 2021 – an IOU coupon good for a free Short Stack
of buttermilk pancakes starting on April 1, 2021*. That coupon can
be redeemed throughout the month of April in-restaurant or to-go
via IHOP.com or the IHOP Mobile App. Anyone who is not a MyHOP
member can still get a free Short Stack during this time with a
minimum $10 purchase in restaurants or to-go by downloading a
coupon via IHOP.com or the IHOP app**.
“At IHOP, our top priority is the safety of our guests and team
members,” said Jay Johns, President at IHOP. “Given nothing about
this past year has been ordinary – and while we look forward to
celebrating National Pancake Day with guests under our blue roof in
the future – we recognize it’s not possible to gather millions of
our closest family and friends in our restaurants on a single day
this year. As a result, we decided to flip National Pancake Day on
its head and give our guests an entire month to redeem their free
Short Stack with an IOU, while also continuing to put purpose
behind our pancakes by giving back to those most in need: our
charity partners.”
National Pancake Day has always been a moment to put purpose
behind the pancakes and give back to children in communities across
the country. Throughout April, IHOP is encouraging guests to make
an on-check, in-restaurant or online donation for as little as $1
to support our national charity partner, Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals, and other local charities, including Shriners Hospitals
for Children and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
“For the past 16 years, funds raised during IHOP’s National
Pancake Day have helped local children’s hospitals treat millions
of kids and their families,” said Teri Nestel, president and CEO of
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “We are grateful to IHOP’s
customers and franchisees for confronting the many challenges of
2020 and adopting a month-long fundraising campaign to help us
continue to change kids’ health, and change the future – for all of
us.”
More than 32 million patients visit one of the 170 Children’s
Miracle Network Hospitals in North America each year. Donations
raised as part of IHOP’s National Pancake Day celebration will help
provide families with everything from critical care to essential
items. Over the past 15 years, IHOP guests have raised over $30
million for various children’s hospitals throughout the country.
