The Canadian restaurant chain Stacked Pancake & Breakfast House is initiating the third iteration of its charitable fundraising drive, which is dubbed 'Make Happy Tummies.' This initiative is scheduled for the month of September 2025.
Stacked Pancake & Breakfast House conducts the fundraising drive in collaboration with The Grocery Foundation. The campaign is structured to generate financial support for national school breakfast programs. 'Make Happy Tummies' involves a commitment to contribute two dollars from the sale of every designated 'Signature Stack' pancake dish during the promotional period.
Stacked Pancake & Breakfast House notes that its 2025 'Make Happy Tummies' fundraising drive has expanded in scope, with almost twice as many franchise outlets participating. All proceeds are earmarked for distribution to established organizations, Student Nutrition Ontario and Breakfast Club of Canada, which administer the actual meal programs.
