Dairy Queen springs for free ice cream on first day of spring

Posted
and last updated

Spring has sprung and Dairy Queen has decided to spring for some free ice cream. 

DQ is offering a free ice cream cone to celebrate the arrival of spring on March 20. 

Here are the rules: just one small vanilla cone per person at participating, non-mall locations. No chocolate dipping or other treat-related enhancements. 

Dairy Queen asks to limit it to one cone per person for the day. 

The event is about more than just delicious ice cream, however. It's also a fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network hospitals.

In the last 30 years, DQ has raised more than $130 million for Children's Miracle Network hospitals in its local communities. Last year, fans and franchisees contributed nearly $300,000 in one day.

Thanks DQ and happy spring.
