WAFFLES FOR SHARKS

Pancakes, called hotcakes, griddle cakes or flapjacks, contain eggs, butter and milk, as do waffles. Waffles of the world go by one name, the same as sharks.

Stingrays are flat like pancakes.

PANCAKE STINGRAYS

Meet stingrays of the shark family in The Amazing Flight of Little Ray. The shape of these fish gets them called pancake shark, flat shark and pancake stingray.

COMBINE THE ESSENCE

Like pancakes and waffles, rays and sharks are combinations of the same components, substances and elements. Textures and shapes set them apart.

What We Bring to the Table

Connect the Jaws

Churches and restaurants serve up pancake specials. Smiling customers may get “freebies”. Waffles should be served for the week of shark celebration and other elite occasions. Sharks’ brand of physical strength, stamina and endurance deserves a place of honor during important missions and fundraisers.

Spread the Good

The pancake form offers special abilities. Fascinating pancake stingray facts captivate children and put smiles on faces. Everyone should applaud the waffle and pancake duo. Sharks do not always get smiles. This can change by raising awareness about the contributions of sharks to science and the environment. 

New Approach

“Our vision” aligns hearty appetites with good manners. Pancakes serve important occasions. Connect international sharks with waffles to rival pancake-to-stingray festivities. Sharks deserve more than a week of celebration. Food industry and wildlife conservation professionals can link food for thought to shark causes.

Background

Events

This event concept got its beginning in Little Ray's children’s Books about stingrays, sharks and other wild animals. His lessons in heroism spawned a nonprofit organization. Shark populations are shrinking about as fast as reading rates. Spurring do-it-yourself responsibility among enlightened participants may reverse these sad losses.

Celebrate Waffles

Waffles deserve the respect and celebration bestowed upon pancakes at fund-raising activities. Canadian summer festivals, Christian traditions and restaurant chains are serving up free pancakes. Many people think waffles taste and look better. They come with an enriching variety of grids to hold special fillings.

Pancake Fans

Bring out the spatulas. Add tails to pancakes. Stir up solutions for indirect and direct threats to rays and sharks. Stingrays are called pancake sharks for good reason. The world's culinary, literary and aquatic pancake forces can combine guidance, knowledge and expertise for responsible and powerful change.

 

Pancake Sharks.

Stingrays are part of the shark family. They are endangered, too.

Stereotyping is scary.

Sharks have undeserved bad reputations. Spread the facts.

Do something.

Connect sharks and waffles to make a difference with jaws.
