Meet Mark McDaniel

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be returning as the Star Server for Pancake Palooza 2026—and I’m ready to defend my championship title while raising vital funds to help families facing homelessness right here in our community! This marks my 14th year supporting this event, and over the years we have raised more than $282,000 to support families.

The mission of Haven House to guide and support families who face homelessness on their paths to stable homes means the world to me. Pancake Palooza is about coming together to provide those families in crisis with the stability, safety, and hope they deserve.

At my workplace (Cinnaire) we believe everyone deserves a place to call home—and that’s why we proudly stand behind Haven House, an organization that works tirelessly to help families rebuild their lives through emergency shelter, supportive services, and long‐term housing solutions.

Last year, with your incredible generosity, we raised over $50,000, helping dozens of families get back on their feet. That is why once again our goal is to raise $50,000 this year. I’m counting on your support so please don’t let these families down—every dollar positively impacts a family’s future.

I’ll serve up pancakes—and together we can serve up hope for families who need us most.
