A Blizzard in July? Miracle Treat Day is Back

Miracle Treat donations help Beaumont Children's fund equipment, treatment and anxiety-reducing programs from the Beaumont Child Life team.


On Thursday, July 25, participating Dairy Queen locations in Southeastern Michigan will raise funds for Beaumont Children's.

Donations collected on Miracle Treat Day will help Beaumont Children's fund equipment, treatments and programs, including the Child Life Program that helps reduce both the children's and family's anxiety during their hospital stay.

Last year, donations helped purchase hospital sleeper sofas for parents and vein finders for babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

During Miracle Treat Day, $1 or more from every Blizzard Treat sold at participating locations will be donated to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, which raises funds and awareness for 170 children's hospitals across the U.S. and Canada.

Last year's Miracle Treat Day raised about $40,000 for Beaumont Children's. Since 1984, Dairy Queen has raised more than $145 million for the charity through fundraising efforts including Miracle Treat Day, the Miracle Balloon campaign and other local initiatives.
