If you’re an ice cream lover, a supporter of children’s health or simply a fan of freebies, you won’t want to miss out on Dairy Queen’s annual Free Cone Day on Tuesday, March 15.

From open to close on the 15th, participating DQs and DQ Grill & Chill restaurants across the country will be serving up free small vanilla soft-serve cones with the signature curl on top to anyone who wants one. The free cone deal excludes mall DQs.

Although there is no coupon or purchase necessary to get your free ice cream, DQ is encouraging its customers to make a donation to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in exchange for the sweet treat.

“All donations collected on Free Cone Day stay in the communities in which they are raised to support local kids at area CMN Hospitals,” DQ said in a press release.

DQ raised $140,000 for CMN hospitals and served an average of 1,330 free cones per store in 2015 on Free Cone Day. Since 1984, DQ has raised more than $110 million for CMN, according to this CMN press release.
