 On Monday, March 20, participating non-mall Dairy Queen and DQ 
 Grill &amp; Chill® locations in the U.S. 
 will host a Free Cone Day when fans can enjoy a FREE small 
 vanilla soft-serve cone with the signature curl on top (limit one per 
 customer while supplies last). At the same time, participating locations 
 also will collect donations for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®.
 
 
 "Soft serve is part of our brand DNA and the taste is unmatchable. The DQ® 
 soft-serve cone fans have come to love is one of the most recognized 
 treats in the world and is fondly referred to as the ‘cone with the curl 
 on top,'" said Barry Westrum, executive vice president of Marketing for 
 American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ). "We can't think of a better way 
 to show our appreciation to fans, kick off the Spring season and support 
 such an amazing cause than with a Free Cone Day."
 
 
 Over the last 32 years, the Dairy Queen system of locations that 
 are franchised by ADQ, a Berkshire Hathaway BRK 
 company, has raised more than $120 million for Children's Miracle 
 Network Hospitals in local communities.
 
 
 "We're excited and ready to go for our Third Annual Free Cone Day," 
 added Westrum. "Free cones have become a fan tradition -- they love it. 
 The icing on the cake is supporting Children's Miracle Network 
 Hospitals."
 
 
 Last year, the Dairy Queen system raised more than $200,000 in 
 one day for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
