DQ® isn’t just about sweet treats—it’s about creating meaningful moments for kids and families in our community. By participating in Free Cone Day, you’re helping fund critical treatments, healthcare services, and innovative programs that help change kids’ health at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.

Last year, our local Dairy Queens raised over $17,000 to support local kids receiving care at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center. Every penny raised will help provide life-saving treatment and highly specialized equipment to support essential medical care for children. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone that contributed to make this possible!

Your support helps kids like Elliott who has benefited from the care made possible through generous donations. Elliott was two years old when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in his left eye. To save his life, doctors had to work quickly to remove his eye just days after that diagnosis.

Thanks to donations, Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center provided Elliott with the care he needed. Today, Elliot is a fun-loving, thriving six-year-old with tons of energy. Together, we can bring health, hope, and happiness to kids in our community.

When we change kids’ health, we change the future – for all of us.
