Perkins will be giving out free pancakes in exchange for a donation to Give Kids The World, and later at Quaker, Steak & Lube there will be live music, games for the kids, a raffle, and much more! All proceeds benefit Give Kids The World, so join us for a day of fun and fundraising as we come together to support magical, cost-free vacations for children with critical illnesses and their families.
