IHOP Corp. (NYSE:IHP) today announced it has selected Children�s
Miracle Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and
improving the lives of children by raising funds for children�s
hospitals throughout the United States, as its national charity
partner to celebrate National Pancake Day on February 20, 2007.
IHOP�s National Pancake Day 2007 will mark the second national
celebration for one of America�s favorite family restaurants. On
National Pancake Day, also known as Mardi Gras and Shrove Tuesday,
IHOP will give away one free short stack of its famous buttermilk
pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. to all guests. In return, IHOP
guests are asked to donate what they would have spent on the free
pancakes, or more, to their local children�s hospital through
Children�s Miracle Network. �Building upon the success of National
Pancake Day 2006, on which we raised more than $340,000 for
charity, our goal in 2007 is to raise $500,000, which will directly
benefit children in the communities where IHOP does business,� said
Carolyn O�Keefe, chief marketing officer for IHOP Corp. �We are
honored to be selected as IHOP�s partner in celebration of National
Pancake Day,� said Jim Hall, chief executive officer of Children�s
Miracle Network. �We know that by working together, we can help
turn pancakes into miracles for children throughout the country.�
Pancake Day has been celebrated for centuries in England on the day
before Lent, with a tradition and lore all its own. Tradition
prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so
pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk and butter,
hence the name Pancake Day. Each IHOP restaurant will have a
designated Children�s Miracle Network hospital or other local
charity as the recipient of funds raised on National Pancake Day.
There is a limit of one free short stack per guest. The offer is
valid at participating restaurants for dine-in only while supplies
last, and is not valid with any other offer, special, coupon or
discount. ABOUT IHOP CORP. The IHOP family restaurant chain has
been serving a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner
selections for more than 45 years. Offering 14 types of pancakes as
well as omelettes, breakfast specialties, burgers, sandwiches,
salads, chicken and steaks, IHOP's diverse menu appeals to people
of all ages. IHOP restaurants are franchised and operated by

end of IHOP�s third quarter, there were 1,278 IHOP restaurants in
