Tomorrow is National Pancake Day – Get a Free Short Stack at IHOP and Donate to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

From an email:
I’m reaching out today about Tuesday’s National Pancake Day. All day at area IHOPs diners will receive a free short stack of pancakes. In lieu of payment, guests have the opportunity to make a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Free pancakes – help cancer patients. It’s a win-win really. I’m hoping you’ll let PoPville know about the promotion. Last year in the DC Metro Area National Pancake Day raised $185,000 for LLS, and this year the 72 local stores have set a goal of $220,000.
IHOP is located on the 1400 block of Irving St, NW in DC USA

I hear they're in terrible financial shape, so this is probably the best they can do.
Why do they still call that Hechinger Mall? Hechinger's has been gone for what, 20 years...
Great that IHOP is helping diners donate to charity but I’m confused about the date. In my (Eastern European) culture I was always under the impression that pancake day is the same as Marti Gras:

The point is that you fill up on all the deliciousness before lent! This year I’m thinking of having friends over for a “bilini” dinner. I’ll make stacks of traditional Russian crepes and might ask friends to bring whatever filling they’d like to put in them.
Isn’t IHOP celebrating a week early?
Not sure if IHOP’s celebration has coincided with Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday in the past, but it definitely isn’t coinciding this year:

For what it’s worth, I’d never heard of pancake-eating as a pre-Lenten ritual until a few years ago, when I heard about it from British friends. None of them are particularly religious, but the pancake thing seems to have become absorbed into secular culture there.
Ha! I think you’re right: I laughed when I flipped my calendar from Jan to Feb this morning and noticed that February 12 (next Tuesday, not tomorrow) is Pancake Day.
