Miracle Treat Day is Thursday at participating Dairy Queen restaurants throughout Southwest Georgia, with the proceeds from the sales of DQ Blizzards benefitting the Children’s Miracle Network at Phoebe Putney Health System in Albany.
For just $1 or more on July 27, DQ customers can purchase a Blizzard to benefit CMN hospitals like Phoebe, and others across the U.S.
Children’s Miracle Network Special Events Coordinator Becca Miller says that CMN’s partnership with Phoebe and Dairy Queen helps many children with life-threatening illnesses to not only make a full recovery but also lead a normal life.
“Dairy Queen is our second largest donor to Children’s Miracle Network,” Miller said. “(In 2016) they donated (more than) $20,000 to Children’s Miracle Network, so every penny of that stays local, which purchases special equipment for pediatric departments, purchases things for education programs, that ensure that our staff is provided the best care for our kids.”
