IHOP restaurants celebrated a “Decade of Giving” during the 10th National Pancake Day by giving away one short stack of buttermilk pancakes per dine-in guest.

IHOP also collected donations for charities such as Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, and locally, Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Representatives from Shriners were at both Pearland IHOP locations from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. to answer questions and accept donations. IHOP is located at 3110 Silverlake Village Dr. in west Pearland and at 2829 Broadway St. on the east side.

“Shriners Hospitals for Children has a mission to provide the highest quality care to children with neuromusculoskeletal conditions, burn injuries and other special healthcare needs within a compassionate, family-centered and collaborative care environment; provide for the education of physicians and other healthcare professionals; and conduct research to discover new knowledge that improves the quality of care and quality of life of children and families.

“This mission is carried out without regard to race, color, creed, sex or sect, disability, national origin or ability of a patient or family to pay,” according to the Shiners website.
