Impact Stories

At Pancakes for Roger, every initiative begins with a simple belief: when we honor Veterans, we strengthen communities. Inspired by the life and legacy of Major General Roger E. Combs, we carry forward his commitment to service, mentorship, and action. What started as a grassroots movement around pancakes has grown into a nonprofit creating meaningful pathways of support for Veterans and their families.

Even before its official launch as a nonprofit, Pancakes for Roger proudly partnered with the University of Missouri School of Law Veterans Clinic. Together, we’ve built something extraordinary—our annual “Pancake Picture” campaign has engaged thousands across all 50 states, 29+ countries, and all seven continents.

Since 2019, we’ve donated nearly $40,000 to support the Clinic’s mission of providing free legal representation for Veterans navigating VA claims and appeals.

Watch the stories below to see how these efforts are changing lives.
