Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day - August 12 Don’t forget to beat the heat and join Canadians across the country to celebrate Miracle Treat Day this Thursday, August 12. Cool off with a Blizzard® from Dairy Queen or purchase a paper balloon to help make a difference in the lives of sick children.

Miracle Treat Day is a one-day national charity drive that donates proceeds from its Blizzard® purchases to Children’s Miracle Network hospitals across the country. There has never been a cooler way to help children’s hospitals like The Hospital for Sick Children. All proceeds raised in northern and south central Ontario will benefit SickKids.

Last year, Miracle Treat Day raised more than $300,000 for SickKids! Let’s do it again this year!

DQ-hospital-banner Nope, not the icy snow storms but the Blizzards® from our friends at Dairy Queen!

August 12 is Dairy Queen’s Miracle Treat Day. What that means is that proceeds from the sale of every Blizzard® on August 12 will go towards your local Children’s Miracle Network hospital, including The Hospital for Sick Children.

We need your help. We would love for you to help us spread the word about the upcoming Miracle Treat Day. Tell your family, friends, teammates, sports leagues and neighbours that with the purchase of a paper balloon or Blizzard® on August 12 at DQ, they will be helping hospitals like SickKids!

Here are some ways to get involved:

· Tell your kids’ local sports association organizer about Miracle Treat Day and try to arrange a team outing

· Skip the wine at book club next Thursday and bring Blizzards® instead

· Have a cubicle party by preordering Blizzards® for your colleagues at work

· Avoid the calories and simply opt for buying a paper balloon

· Surprise your family on August 12 with an after-dinner treat at Dairy Queen

Most importantly, don’t forget to beat the heat and indulge in your favourite flavour of Blizzard®.

See you on August 12 at your local Dairy Queen!
