A Tasty Tithe—Dairy Queen Hosts 'Miracle Treat Day'
On Thursday, July 26, $1 from Blizzard treats sold at participating Dairy Queen locations will go to Children's Miracle Network hospitals—Gillette Specialty Children's Healthcare for those in Apple Valley and Rosemount.
Dairy Queen restaurants on Thursday invite customers to Miracle Treat Day, when participating restaurants will donate $1 or more from the sale of each Blizzard treat to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals is a nonprofit that raises funds for more than 170 children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada; part of its mission is to keep 100 percent of locally generated donations in those local communities. Money from the south metro will support Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare, based in St. Paul.
