National Pancake Day: Pancakes with a Purpose!

Thanks to Kiwanis International's partnerships, 2016 is going to be an exciting year for Kiwanians. Consider this: Members throughout the U.S. and Canada can register now to be a volunteer on IHOP National Pancake Day, March 8, 2016. On that day, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., restaurant guests can enjoy a free short stack of pancakes in exchange for a suggested donation to the local Children's Miracle Network Hospital (CMN), a preferred charity of Kiwanis International.

Over the past 10 years, National Pancake Day has raised almost $20 million for CMN. For the Kiwanis family, it's a chance to fulfill the Kiwanis mission of service to children-and to be a voice on behalf of your local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. Members sign up in shifts and will be provided a training video and talking points. This is an easy way to give back to your local hospital by volunteering just a few hours of your time.

As one Miracle Child who beat leukemia says: "I think if everybody knew that the free pancakes they were enjoying could help kids in need, people would give generously."

So help spread the word...and raise funds! Let's join IHOP and CMN to put a purpose behind the pancakes. Bring up National Pancake Day up at your next club meeting and recruit a team to volunteer on National Pancake Day.
