Dip It for Kids at Dairy Queen on March 19

Participating Dairy Queen restaurants throughout Southeast Michigan are celebrating the first day of spring by providing fans with one small, vanilla soft-serve cone on Free Cone Day, Tuesday, March 19.

Participating DQ locations will also host a Dip It for Kids campaign, which provides fans an opportunity to add a dip to their DQ cones for just $1. The additional dollar, as well as any other donations collected at these Southeast Michigan Dairy Queen locations that day, will be donated to help fund cutting-edge health care equipment and other program needs for pediatric patients at Corewell Health’s Beaumont Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

Dairy Queen’s famous original cones are available in vanilla, chocolate or twist soft serve. There are three sizes that retail from $3.79 to $4.89. During the Dip It for Kids campaign, anyone receiving a free small vanilla cone, or purchasing a larger cone, can add a dipped topping for just $1. Hard-shell coating flavors available may include chocolate, cherry and butterscotch.

Since 2003, Dairy Queen stores in Southeast Michigan have raised nearly $1.09 million for Corewell Health’s Beaumont Children’s, helping to put ice cream smiles on the faces of pediatric patients.
