Cool Down with a Sweet Treat to Help Patients at KCH

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 27, 2016) — While beating the heat, do something sweet for patients at Kentucky Children’s Hospital (KCH). Every DQ Blizzard treat purchased at local DQ locations on Thursday, July 28, will support children receiving medical treatment at KCH.

The 11th Annual Miracle Treat Day raises funds to support KCH, a member of the Children’s Miracle Network. On Thursday only, one dollar of every Blizzard sale at Dairy Queen (DQ) and DQ Grill and Chill locations across the country will be donated to a local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. 

Lexington DQ Grill and Chill locations include 2300 Palumbo Drive, 350 Virginia Ave., 464 New Circle Road and 3509 Lansdowne Drive. All flavors purchased help raise funds. 

Help spread awareness of Miracle Treat Day on Twitter by using the hashtag #MiracleTreatDay and tagging @DairyQueen. Blizzard fans are also encouraged to post about their Miracle Day treat at www.facebook.com/dairyqueen.

Since 1984, DQ and Children’s Miracle Network Hospital have partnered to provide life-saving treatments to children across the U.S. and Canada. More than $100 million has been raised through donations from DQ franchisees, fans and the corporate office. Funds raised by DQ stay local to fund critical treatments, health care services, pediatric medial equipment and charitable care.
