Krispy Kreme is once again giving members of the Class of 2023 a dozen doughnuts for free on Wednesday, the company announced Monday.

All graduates have to do is show up at a participating shop dressed in their Class of 2023 fashions, such as a shirt, jacket, or cap and gown, to get a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for free “in a special Dough-ploma-wrapped box.”

Like many promotions, the doughnuts will be available as long as supplies last.

The company started the doughnuts for grads promotion during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic is over, Krispy Kreme said, “We haven’t forgotten that the lives of this year’s graduates were heavily impacted by the pandemic. We are thrilled to celebrate their perseverance and spirit the best way we know how.”

Krispy Kreme isn’t the only company that will be rewarding the Class of 2023 for its accomplishments.
