With many schools and businesses still closed due to the ongoing pandemic, it’s become increasingly challenging to celebrate significant milestones like graduations. The absence of traditional ceremonies and gatherings makes it tough for graduates to mark their achievements. Thankfully, Krispy Kreme is stepping up to provide some joy during these unconventional times.
On Tuesday, May 19, any graduate sporting their cap and gown or other graduation attire can visit a Krispy Kreme location to receive a complimentary “Graduate Dozen” of donuts. This special box includes a delightful assortment of glazed and cream-filled donuts, featuring the number “2020” displayed throughout the box. This offer is open to all graduates—whether they’re finishing high school, college, or graduate school.
To take advantage of this sweet deal, graduates need to wear their graduation gear, be it a cap and gown, a “Class of 2020” shirt, or even a letterman jacket. “We empathize with high school and college seniors who are missing out on their moment to walk across the stage and receive their diploma,” said Mark Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer for Krispy Kreme. “While we can’t replicate that experience, we hope to add a little fun and enjoyment with our ‘Graduate Dozen’ on us.”
The Graduate Dozen includes two Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled, two Strawberry Iced Kreme Filled, and two Cake Batter Filled donuts, along with six Yellow Iced Original Glazed donuts. This free offer is available for one day only—Tuesday—but the special donuts will be on sale from May 18-24 at participating locations, whether in-store, via drive-through, or for online delivery.
Friends and family can also purchase the “Graduate Dozen” throughout the week to honor their favorite graduates, but only seniors can claim their complimentary box. This initiative is a wonderful addition to the creative ways families are finding to celebrate their graduates. From drive-by graduation ceremonies to celebrities delivering heartfelt virtual commencement speeches, the class of 2020 is certainly making the most of a unique situation.
