Krispy Kreme has a sweet treat for those rare Leap Day babies.

On Thursday, in celebration of the day that only comes every four years, the doughnut chain is offering those born Feb. 29 a free dozen of its Original Glazed doughnuts, with no purchase necessary. Proof of birthday, however, is required.

“An extra day in the year is an irresistible opportunity for Krispy Kreme to be extra-sweet to our guests,” the company’s global brand officer Dave Skena said in a press release. “So, we’re sweetening Leap Day by the dozens, including for fans whose true birthday comes around only every four years.”

But fans of Krispy Kreme’s signature sugary snack who weren’t born on Feb. 29 can still get in on the festive action. With the purchase of any regularly priced dozen, customers can score a dozen of Original Glazed doughnuts for just $2.29 on Thursday.
