How to Score FREE Pancakes Tomorrow

Sure, last week was Mardi Gras, and many people plated up a pile of pancakes for a Tuesday meal, but the party is tomorrow at the International House of Pancakes. They're celebrating National Pancake Day on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. What this means to you: FREE PANCAKES.
How do you get a free short stack? Just show up at a participating IHOP tomorrow between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. and receive one complimentary short stack.
The catch? None, unless you are feeling generous, says IHOP: "In return for the free flapjacks, we ask you to consider leaving a little something behind for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and other designated local charities."
Since 2006, IHOP's National Pancake Day freebie promo has raised $8 million. This year, they're aiming for $2.7 million.
PS, it's ONE free short stack per guest, dine-in only, and don't try to combo this up with any other offer.
