Customers can help the Lloydminster Dairy Queen (DQ) do its part to raise funds for kids receiving care at children’s hospitals across Canada by supporting the corporation’s Miracle Treat Day on Aug. 10.
Net proceeds from every Blizzard Treat sold that day at the Lloyd DQ at 5502-44 St. will be donated to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation.
DQ’s partnership with the Children’s Miracle Network has contributed over $48 million in support of local children’s hospital foundations across Canada.
To support the health of children and their families, DQ Canada staff, volunteers and stakeholders come together throughout the year to highlight Miracle Treat Day and help raise funds.
“The success of Miracle Treat Day contributes to our goal of improving the health and well-being of children who rely on the treatment and care they receive at their local children’s hospital,” said Adam Starkman, president and chief executive officer of Canada’s Children’s Hospital Foundations, the not-for-profit organization running Children’s Miracle Network in Canada.
This year marks the 21st running of the tasty fundraiser.
“We’re proud to be celebrating the 21st Miracle Treat Day and are extremely grateful for the fundraising efforts DQ franchisees put in year-round,” said Candida Ness, vice president of marketing, DQ Canada, in a statement.
“We’ve made a positive difference in the lives of so many children. Miracle Treat Day is DQ’s most important day of the year, and our franchisees and fans play a vital role in helping us make those miracles happen.”
