Dairy Queen® Brings Health and Hope to Kids at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital on Miracle Treat Day® – July 27th

The DQ® brand is bringing health and hope to kids at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, a member hospital of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Nicklaus Children’s Hospital wants to ensure the children in our community can lead healthy, fulfilling lives. But they can’t do it alone.

On Thursday, July 27th, 2023, participating DQ® locations are giving back to positively change the health of children in our community. $1 or more from every Blizzard® Treat sold at participating DQ® locations will benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Through these donations, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital can provide treatments and support patients desperately need today, so that they can fulfill their potential for tomorrow.

Patients like Yeira, who lives her best life with the help of her children’s hospital — care she will depend on her entire life. She was born with an extremely rare incurable gastrointestinal disease. Her intestines simply do not work. She receives nutrition through her veins and through a method that bypasses her intestines. This care can cause fluid retention and tissue swelling where Yeira receives daily treatment. Without the treatment, the fluids can dangerously seep into her organs. Already, she has survived several life-threatening experiences, including a heart attack. Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals support several programs that give Yeira a world of possibility, including the in-hospital school, playrooms and therapy dogs.

The DQ® brand has been a proud partner of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals for 39 years and has raised more than $234,000 locally for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. Their support has brought joy and hope to kids treated in the hospital in numerous ways.

Children’s hospitals are at the frontlines when it comes to protecting the health of future generations and DQ® locations nationwide want to help them foster the business owners, creators and leaders of tomorrow. Thanks to your donation, this will continue to create a ripple effect to change kids’ health to change the future in our community for years to come.

Thanks to you and the DQ® locations in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, Saint Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties for helping change kids’ health and change the future at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.
