(WAVY/CNN) - You can get a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes at IHOP restaurants on Tuesday, and if you're really lucky you might win free pancakes for life.

It's IHOP's annual "IHOP National Pancake Day."

From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, diners can order a stack of pancakes for free and enter a giveaway with 250,000 individual prizes.

Prizes include IHOP-branded bikes, scooters and jackets. One grand prize winner gets free pancakes for life!

The day is also a fundraiser, and IHOP encourages patrons to donate to its partner charities: Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Shriners Hospitals for Children, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

IHOP says it has raised more than $30 million for the charities since the annual event started in 2006 and hopes to raise $4 million this year.

In case you are wondering, IHOP says it has a quarter million pancakes available for Tuesday's giveaway.
