Have A Blizzard, Help A Child On Miracle Treat Day

You didn't really need another reason to treat yourself to Dairy Queen today, did you?

It’s going to be another hot, humid day in Ocean County -- the kind of day that will have you wishing for a Blizzard.

Not of the winter variety, but of the Dairy Queen ice cream variety.

And today, on Dairy Queen’s national Miracle Treat Day, if you buy a Blizzard -- that mixture of soft-serve ice cream with chunks of Oreos or Reece’s Pieces any of several other delectable treats -- $1 from the purchase will be donated to a local Children’s Miracle Network hospital.
