Today is IHOP's National Pancake Day! To most people, it is merely just an excuse to go get free pancakes. (I know that's what it was to me in the past.) But this year, I learned it's something a little more than that.
From 7:00am to 10:00pm at night, the IHOP in Dutchess County, Poughkeepsie on Route 9 will be serving one, free short stack of buttermilk pancakes in exchange for a donation to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Since all donations stay local, Jaimie's hospital, Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center, is where all of the local donations will be sent.
So naturally, at 6:30am this morning, the Marist Women's Soccer Team was there waiting outside of IHOP's doors in zero degree weather. We were the first people inside and devoured our pancakes before most other people even sat down. (Cut us some slack - we're hungry after our 5:45am weight training lifts!)
If you're reading this, please stop by at some point today! The donations benefit an amazing hospital and I'm sure Jaimie will appreciate it more than anything. Thank you all so much!

Come on, who doesn't love free pancakes??
Live in the moment. Play in the moment.
