Miracle Treat Day

Once upon a time, I gave birth to tiny babies. They each weighed 2 lbs. 4 oz. They had to be resuscitated. They had to be hooked up to ventilators. They had to be fed through feeding tubes. Were it not for the amazing NICU staff at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis, my babies would not be here today.

Every year, DQ sponsors Miracle Treat Day, which supports Children's Miracle Network, an organization that supports children's hospitals throughout the country. That day is TODAY!

It's as easy as this: You buy a Blizzard and DQ donates money that ultimately helps save children - including tiny babies like mine.

When else can you feel that good about eating a Blizzard? Go now! Bring friends!

Eat Ice Cream for Kids

Today is DQ Miracle Treat Day! It's an excuse to eat a Blizzard and feel good about it.

My boys would not be here without the fantastic doctors and nurses at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis*. That's not flowery sentiment, that's reality. And even with everything we went through, I am still thankful that our boys were just small. 

There are children battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses right now. They are lying in hospital beds when they should be out enjoying summer vacation. Children's hospitals not only help these kids get better, they make the whole process seem a lot less scary (for both kids and parents). They really do perform miracles. 

So go out and buy a Blizzard today (yes, it has to be a Blizzard) in support of the Children's Miracle Network and children's hospitals around the country. Bring friends. Have one with lunch and dinner. It's fun and it can be your good deed for the day. 

*Please note that our beloved Children's Hospital in Minneapolis is not part of the Miracle Network. However, the other children's hospitals deserve your support, too. Feel free to support Minneapolis Children's Hospital with your own donations.
