Did you know that ice cream giant Dairy Queen sponsors the annual event called Miracle Treat Day? This longtime charitable DQ partnership is an American and Canadian fundraising event for the Children’s Miracle Network, where they fund local children’s hospitals and various fundraising partners.
This year’s DQ Miracle Treat Day falls on July 25th (Thursday), and joining Dairy Queen is entrepreneur, gymnast, and mother Shawn Johnson East. Together, Dairy Queen and East will promote a one-day initiative, Miracle Treat Day, to share hope and support through donations for local children’s hospitals.
When Dairy Queen fans purchase any of their favorite delicious Blizzard treat, proceeds of $1 or more will be donated to local children’s hospitals through the Children’s Miracle Network. This Blizzard for a cause will be available at participating Dairy Queen locations on July 25, 2024.
