In a continued show of support for to Give Kids The World Village, a non-profit resort in Central Florida that creates magical memories for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families, Perkins Restaurant & Bakery will again host its Free Pancake Day on Thursday, Sept. 22.

Guests can enjoy a free short stack of Perkins' pancakes at any participating locations. All the company asks is that guests, in return, consider making a donation to GKTW.

All money raised by Perkins Restaurants & Bakery on the Free Pancake Day will go directly towards the operation of the Village’s Gingerbread House, a whimsical restaurant opened by Perkins Restaurant and Bakery in 1990, where more than 200,000 breakfasts and dinners are served annually to Give Kids the World guests.

“Perkins Free Pancake Day is an event that the community looks forward to each year. It is an opportunity to enjoy a free short stack of pancakes on us as we all rally behind an outstanding organization that helps families worldwide,” said Jim Frank, Chief Operating Officer of Perkins Restaurant & Bakery. 

Perkins has raised more than $20 million for Give Kids The World since 1989.

“Perkins has been among our most treasured partners for over 25 years," said Pam Landwirth, President and CEO of Give Kids the World Village.  "Through the boundless generosity of Perkins staff, franchisees and guests, we have served over 5,500,000 meals in our beloved Gingerbread House Restaurant. We are deeply grateful that they have embraced our mission and help us create the happiness that inspires hope.”
