The International House of Pancakes is offering the free breakfast in an effort to raise money for Children's Miracle Network hospitals. They will ask pancake lovers to make a voluntary donation instead of paying for their short stack. 

In Jacksonville, the proceeds will go to Wolfson's Children's Hospital and Shands Children's Hospital at the University of Florida, according to a news release from IHOP. 

The "National Pancake Day" offer runs from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. today.
