(KNSI) – If you have ever seen a Dairy Queen Blizzard Treat flipped upside down, you might consider it a minor miracle the sweet contents inside don’t come tumbling out.
For one day a year, Blizzard sales help fund real miracles. The 2024 edition is on Thursday, July 25th. All three St. Cloud locations will earmark at least $1 to Gillette Children’s Hospital whenever someone orders the delicious mix of candy toppings and soft-serve ice cream.
The St. Paul facility first opened in 1897. Gillette specializes in treating kids with physical disabilities. It collaborates with primary care physicians from across the state on consultations. If needed, Gillette is a leader in pediatric surgeries, particularly related to brain, bone, and movement conditions.
Miracle Treat Day is usually scheduled at the end of July each year. The first one was held in 2006. DQ and the Children’s Miracle Network have had a partnership since 1984.
