National Pancake Day February 23 2010 -IHOP Sets Goal to Raise $1.75M

IHOP, world renowned for their signature buttermilk pancakes, has just set a goal to raise $1.75 million for Children’s Miracle Network and other local charities during its celebration of National Pancake Day on February 23, 2010. This ambitious goal will raise a cumulative $5 million in the first five years of IHOP’s National Pancake Day program. From 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., IHOP restaurants nationwide will offer their guests a free short stack (3) of IHOP’s signature buttermilk pancakes, and in return, ask guests to donate what they would have paid for the pancakes, or more, to CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK their local children’s hospital or another designated local charity.

2009, IHOP gave away three million pancakes and raised nearly $1.5 million in support of Children’s Miracle Network and other local charities, far exceeding its goal to raise $1 million. Since starting its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has given away more than 6.1 million free pancakes to benefit children’s charities –- that stacks up more than 53.5 miles high!

2010 will mark IHOP’s fifth year celebrating the national event and the company has set an ambitious goal to raise a cumulative $5 million for charity in the first five years of its free flapjack philanthropic effort.

Buxr: Saving Money the Social Media Way

Have you ever tried finding and tracking coupons online? Well, if you haven’t, let me tell you, when done right, that can be fun! A coupon won’t save you a fortune, but when you work out an effective couponing strategy, this can turn into a solid money saving tactic.

Here’s a nice free tool to be added to your arsenal: Buxr.com – a social media community for bargain hunters. It’s totally free and easy to join. There are a few reasons I prefer it over other coupon codes sites:

  • All deals are real and useful (because real people share them);
  • It’s spam-free (every submission should be approved by the moderator before it goes live);
  • The community over there is really friendly (try asking anything at their forums!).buxr1

Here’s how I use the site:

  • I have a few favorite stores I buy from on a regular basis, so I just go ahead and search for the store name on Buxr;
  • They have a great database of stores and for each store they have a few sections: its freebies, deals, coupons, etc: check out newegg.com promo code section for example.
  • All you have to do is to keep an eye on that section for new coupons and freebies!

Happy saving!
