Blizzard® Flavor Treats Served for a Good Cause
Euless, Texas (PRWEB) August 05, 2013 -- The new Dairy Queen® restaurant at 700 N Industrial Blvd. will celebrate the 8th Annual DQ® Miracle Treat Day on Thursday, August 8 when one dollar from every Blizzard® Treat sold will be donated to local Cook’s Children’s, one of the 170 hospitals supported by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® (CMN Hospitals). CMN Hospitals raises funds to help save and improve the lives of kids treated at member hospitals across the U.S. and Canada.
“The Euless Dairy Queen restaurant has been open for 100 days and the response from the mid-cities has been fantastic. We want to give back. We’re already proud a supporter of various community projects and Miracle Treat Day is a particularly special event. This annual fundraiser is a win-win for all involved. Our fans get to enjoy delicious Blizzard Treats, and we all get to help children in our community who need it most with a donation to our local CMN Hospital,” said owner/operator Michael Clarke.
Since 1984, the Dairy Queen system has raised more than $97 million through fundraising efforts including Miracle Treat Day, the Miracle Balloon campaign and other local initiatives.
The featured Miracle Treat Day “Blizzard Treat of the Day” will be Oreo® which is still the most popular Blizzard Treat to date. The Blizzard of the Month for August in the U.S. is Tripleberry® Brownie, which is made with rich choco chunks, Orange Julius® Tripleberry fruit puree and chewy brownie pieces. All other Blizzard flavors will also be available that day.
The incredible popularity of the Blizzard brand is what led the Dairy Queen system to initiate the Blizzard Fan Club in 2005 and the Dairy Queen Facebook fan page in 2008. Today, the Fan Club is 3.4 million members strong while the DQ Facebook fan page has more than 5.7 million friends.
