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

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

This year, for each person who RSVPs via Facebook that they'll attend a Miracle Treat Day event, the $1 contribution will be matched up to $50,000.

The Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has raised $4 billion to date for the hospitals it supports, and during the past 28 years, Dairy Queen has contributed $91 million to the cause.

The Lakeville  will participate in Miracle Treat Day.
