Ice cream lovers across Canada are eagerly awaiting Thursday August 10th – it’s DQ Miracle Treat Day.
The tradition of DQ Miracle Treat Day has been going strong for over 30 years, with every Dairy Queen location in Canada participating. As part of the Children’s Miracle Network’s national campaign, proceeds from the sale of all blizzards on this day will be donated to local children’s hospitals across the country.
Jennifer Baxter, the Director of Community Relations and Children’s Miracle Network for the Children’s Health Foundation says that the funds raised through Miracle Treat Day make a tangible difference in the lives of children locally,
The hospital’s child life programs, including the presence of a therapeutic clown who has been known to engage in nerf gun fights with the children, aid in making the hospital environment less daunting for young patients.
Additionally, the funds raised from DQ Miracle Treat Day contribute to purchasing specialized equipment,
What excites Baxter the most about DQ Miracle Treat Day is the unwavering commitment and enthusiasm shown by the staff at Dairy Queen.
Baxter encourages everyone to participate in DQ Miracle Treat Day on August 10th and to pre-order their blizzards if possible, as the day is expected to be bustling with activity.
So treat yourself, grab a delicious Blizzard, and be part of this heartwarming cause to support local children’s hospitals and bring smiles to the faces of those who need it most.
