Here's a great way to start the day Tuesday: Get a free short stack of pancakes at the East Lansing IHOP, 2771 E. Grand River Ave., and raise funds for the young Patients at Sparrow, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital.
For every short stack of buttermilk pancakes served from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. on National Pancake Day, East Lansing IHOP guests are invited to make a donation to benefit the Sparrow Children's Center.
Since 2006, IHOP National Pancake Day has raised more than $10 million to provide life-saving treatment and medical equipment for young Patients, including the 40,000 treated annually at Sparrow. For more information, visit www.IHOPpancakeday.com.
For more than a century, Sparrow has been a leader in caring for children. The first hospital in mid-Michigan to offer a dedicated children's unit, Sparrow today is home to the region's only full-service pediatric emergency department. As the region's Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Sparrow is able to provide the most advanced technology and treatment options in pediatric and neonatal care.
