Have A Blizzard, Help A Child On Miracle Treat Day

It’s going to be another hot, humid day in Monmouth 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.

At the Shore, the money would go to Children’s Specialized Hospital, which offers a variety of therapies for children with special needs, as well as long-term pediatric care.

There’s a Dairy Queen on Atlantic Avenue in Manasquan and one on 12th Avenue in Belmar, if you feel like indulging. Or click here to find the one closest to where you are spending your day.
