Buy a Blizzard at Orlando-area Dairy Queen locations on July 31 for Miracle Treat Day, $1+ per treat goes to local children’s hospitals.
Get ready to cool off for a cause—Miracle Treat Day is back at participating Dairy Queen locations nationwide on Wednesday, July 31, and every Blizzard Treat you buy helps make a big difference in the lives of children across the country. It’s a feel-good tradition that combines DQ’s most iconic frozen dessert with one of the most heartwarming charitable campaigns of the summer.
Organized by American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ) in partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® (CMN Hospitals), Miracle Treat Day is a one-day event where $1 or more from every Blizzard Treat purchased will be donated to local children’s hospitals. Since this partnership began more than 41 years ago, the DQ system has raised over $185 million to support children’s health initiatives and critical hospital programs across North America.
Enjoy a Treat, Make a Difference
Whether you’re obsessed with the Oreo Blizzard, craving Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup, or trying a limited-edition flavor, every Blizzard you enjoy on July 31 contributes directly to life-saving care and support for children in your own community.
“Participating in Miracle Treat Day at DQ is a tasty and meaningful way for anyone to turn their Blizzard Treat purchase into something that makes a real difference for children in their local community,” said Maria Hokanson, executive vice president of Marketing at ADQ. “We are proud of our longtime partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and can’t wait to turn Blizzard Treats into smiles and make this the most impactful Miracle Treat Day yet!”
