Dairy Queen stores across Canada will be participating in Miracle Treat Day on Thursday.
Net proceeds from every Blizzard® Treat purchased are donated to one of 12 Children’s Miracle Network member hospitals across Canada. What’s raised locally will stay local, so every dollar donated will go directly to the hospital of that community.
On average, 35,000 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network hospital in North America each week. That’s 5,000 per day or 62 per minute. DQ employees, franchisees, volunteers and stakeholders come together throughout the year to help raise funds that allow children’s hospitals to provide the best care possible. Since the partnership began 37 years ago in 1984, DQ has become a top contributor to Children’s Miracle Network, with over $44 million raised to date in Canada alone.
The 19th year of Miracle Treat Day will be held on Thursday, October 28th. This fundraiser is typically held in the second week of August. Dairy Queen says the decision to move the event was made to ensure the safety of customers and staff.
