Celebrate the arrival of spring with a free ice cream cone from Dairy Queen

Many Michigan Dairy Queen stores will be participating Wednesday, March 20th, 2013 in the Dairy Queen Free Cone Day promotion to benefit the Beaumont Children’s Hospital, the southeast Michigan affiliate of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. DQ stores will be open 11 a.m.-10 p.m.

Dairy Queen Free Cone Day is a special event hosted on the first day of spring by Michigan Dairy Queen owners. On this day, stores will be staffed to handle huge crowds and owners give away free small cones to anybody that visits their store.  No strings attached. Stores will also accept cash donations that day through a Children’s Miracle Network donation bucket with proceeds going to Children’s Miracle Network at Beaumont.

Information about Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals can be found at: www.cmnhospitals.org.

In 2011 the 45 participating Dairy Queen stores served 27,644 free cones and raised $19,754 for CMN Hospitals.

Dairy Queen® Free Cone Day is a special event hosted on the first day of spring by your local Michigan Dairy Queen® owners. On this day, Dairy Queen® owners give away free small cones to anybody that visits their store. No strings attached. It is an event organized by the owners as a thank you to the community and a celebration of the coming warmer months.

On Dairy Queen® Free Cone Day the owners also work to raise money to benefit their national charity, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals by collecting donations and selling Dairy Queen® coupons for return visits. Dairy Queen® owners have a long history of serving the community through fund raisers and contributions for the benefit of CMN Hospitals, local schools, kid's sports teams and other local charities.

So come visit any of our participating Dairy Queen® stores and grab yourself a free small cone, and if you have some spare money, please drop it in the CMN Hospital donation bucket.

Call your local Dairy Queen to see if they are participating.
