All you have to do is show up and eat. More From Delish: Where to Find the Best Pancakes in the U.S.A. Between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., diners at IHOP will each receive a short stack of the eatery&amp;#039;s famous buttermilk pancakes (one stack per customer) at no charge. But the 53-year-old restaurant&amp;#039;s hope is that customers will voluntarily leave a donation for the Children&amp;#039;s Miracle Network Hospitals in an effort to reach a goal of $2.7 million raised. The event, in its seventh year, has been instrumental in fundraising for the hospitals. Since 2006, IHOP has raised more than $8 million and has given away more than 14 million pancakes in support of the charity. Last year, after giving away 4 million pancakes, the restaurants raised $2.5 million, exceeding their goal of $2.3 million. To put it in perspective, if lined up, the number of free flapjacks served last year would create a stack nearly 16 miles high. That&amp;#039;s a whole lotta pancakes!
