An annual summer cooling trend is set for next week, but there鈥檚 no need to consult your local weather forecast 鈥� it鈥檚 only Dairy Queen鈥檚 Miracle Treat Day that will be helping to chill B.C. residents.
This year鈥檚 Miracle Treat Day 鈥� an initiative now in its 17th year 鈥� is Thursday, Aug. 8 at Dairy Queen locations across the province.
On Treat Day, proceeds from the sale of Blizzards goes to support BC Children鈥檚 Hospital Foundation.
鈥淥ver 93,000 kids in BC receive care from BC Children鈥檚 Hospital each year, and the community donations we receive are critical to helping provide the best health care imaginable for these children,鈥� says Maria Faccio, vice president of philanthropy at BC Children鈥檚 Hospital Foundation.
Last year, more than $460,000 was raised, and over the years, Dairy Queen has donated more than $7.1 million to the hospital.
