Dairy Queen locations across Saskatchewan are uniting to raise funds for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation as Thursday marks the 22nd annual Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day.

With every Blizzard Treat sold, net proceeds will support children with medical needs.

“When you treat your employees, your family or yourself to a Blizzard Treat at Dairy Queen on Miracle Treat Day, you directly impact the lives of over 80,000 children and moms-to-be from 499 Saskatchewan communities who visit Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital each year. Your support helps these families stay in Saskatchewan to receive the critical care they need,” said Jada Kook, Community Engagement Manager at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation.

For twenty-two years, Dairy Queen has supported the Children’s Miracle Network in Canada, donating over $52 million to local children’s hospital foundations across the country.

In 2023, over 3.1 million children received essential care through in-person and virtual visits at local children’s hospitals across Canada.

Saskatchewan raised $250,000 in support of the 2023 Miracle Treat Day.

“Thanks to the dedicated support of partners like Dairy Queen and Children’s Miracle Network in Canada, we are excited for everyone’s favourite fundraiser happening across the province on August 8th,” said Kook.

Dairy Queen will accept donations in addition to selling Blizzard Treats. Every contribution will directly go to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, providing life-saving equipment, research, and programming for pediatric and maternal patients.
