The net proceeds from Dairy Queen blizzards sold on Thursday will go to 13 children’s hospitals across Canada. The ice cream brand is preparing for the 24th annual Miracle Treat Day, a partnership with the Children’s Miracle Network that has raised nearly $58 million since 1984. Dollars raised will remain in local communities. Last year, $2.35 million was raised. “Year after year, our franchisees, staff, volunteers and fans show incredible generosity, helping local children’s hospital foundations fund the life-changing care kids need to help them get back to being kids. We’re proud to be part of a tradition that continues to make a real difference from coast to coast,” said Candida Ness, vice-president of marketing, in a press release. A list of participating Dairy Queen locations is available online.
