DQ Miracle Day is Thursday!

This Thursday it is supposed to be HOT. Like 95 degrees!

So, what would taste better than a Blizzard from Dairy Queen? The answer is nothing!

Well, Thursday is Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen! That means all proceeds from Blizzards bought on Thursday will go directly to help the Children's Miracle Network, which provides over $2.5 billion in direct support to each year to over 170 Children's Hospitals. Riley Children's hospital is a part of that network.

Other quick stats of the Children's Miracle Network taken from their website

Children's Miracle Network hospitals:
Treat 98% of all children needing heart or lung transplants
Treat 88% of all children with cancer
Treat 76% of all children with cystic fibrosis
Treat 90% of all children with sickle cell anemia
Treat 72% of all children with pediatric AIDS
Devote 60% of their services to children under age six and 25% to newborns
Train 60% of pediatricians and 80% of all pediatric specialists
Educate families about issues like child safety seats, helmet safety and bike safety

So, on Thursday if you need something to cool you off, go get a blizzard and the proceeds will go directly to the nearest Children's Hospital (Riley Hospital)!!

Call Phil and he will go with you!
