Celebrity wake-up calls and free short stacks on February 23
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In honor of National Pancake Day, created by IHOP (International House of Pancakes), an American chain restaurant with locations across the United States, Mexico and Canada, all IHOP locations will be serving free short stacks from 7-10am on February 23.
IHOP began this tradition in 2006 and has to date raised $3.25 million (€2.2 million) for various charities. The short stack, three buttermilk pancakes, is free but IHOP does ask for a donation in-kind for Children's Miracle Network, an organization that supports children's hospitals and life-saving research for a spectrum of diseases. IHOP and CMN hope to reach $5 million (€3.6 million) in 2010.
If you need some help waking up in time for the free pancakes, requests can be made for a wake-up call from Steve Young, NFL Hall of Fame player; Caressa Cameron, Miss America; Marie Osmond, entertainer and Children's Miracle Network co-founder or Monique Coleman, performer from High School Musicals.
