Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen to Benefit Children’s Miracle Network Kids
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.

The hospital Apple Valley and Rosemount residents would be supporting is Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare, based in St. Paul.
