Every year, Dairy Queen brings a smile to communities across North America with its beloved **Miracle Treat Day**, a heartwarming event that combines indulgence with impact. On this special day, DQ fans can enjoy their favorite Blizzard Treat while supporting a worthy cause—raising funds for children’s hospitals through the Children’s Miracle Network. Here’s why Miracle Treat Day is a must-visit event and how you can join in the sweetness!
### What is Miracle Treat Day?
Miracle Treat Day is an annual fundraiser held at participating Dairy Queen locations, typically in late July or early August. On this day, **at least $1 from every Blizzard Treat sold** is donated to local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. These funds help provide life-saving treatments, medical equipment, and compassionate care for kids in need, making a tangible difference in their lives.
In 2025, Miracle Treat Day is set to continue its tradition of turning frozen treats into miracles. While the exact date may vary by location (check with your local DQ or follow @DairyQueen on X for updates), the mission remains the same: to support kids and families facing medical challenges.
### Why Blizzard Treats?
The Blizzard Treat is Dairy Queen’s iconic dessert—a creamy soft-serve masterpiece blended with delicious mix-ins like Oreo cookies, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, or fresh fruit. Whether you’re a fan of the classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or craving a seasonal favorite like the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard, there’s a flavor for everyone. On Miracle Treat Day, each spoonful feels extra special, knowing you’re helping kids in your community.
### How Your Blizzard Helps
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals treat millions of kids each year for conditions like cancer, heart defects, and injuries. The donations from Miracle Treat Day stay local, directly supporting hospitals in your area. For example:
– **Medical equipment**: Funds help purchase advanced tools for diagnosis and treatment.
– **Family support**: Donations provide resources like lodging and meals for families staying near the hospital.
– **Research and care**: Contributions fuel innovative treatments and ensure kids get the best care possible.
Since Dairy Queen began partnering with Children’s Miracle Network in 1984, the company has raised over **$185 million** through events like Miracle Treat Day. Every Blizzard you buy adds to this incredible legacy.
