For the 8th year in a row, IHOP's around the nation are serving up free pancakes today.

It's all in an effort to raise awareness and funds for Crisis Pregnancy Centers and other local charities.  This year's goal is to raise $3 million for the centers, brining the total amount of funds raised to $13 million.   

For every short stack of buttermilk pancakes served, IHOP guests are asked to make a small donation that will go to the charities.
