DQ Miracle Treat Day to benefit WVU Children’s Hospital
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University Children’s Hospital is hoping that a whole lot of Blizzards hit the state and region on Thursday (Aug. 8). That’s when Dairy Queen will hold its annual Miracle Treat Day for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
A dollar or more of every Blizzard purchased on Miracle Treat Day at participating Dairy Queen stores will benefit WVU Children’s Hospital, the only Children’s Miracle Network hospital in West Virginia. Proceeds from Blizzards purchased at locations across West Virginia and several in Ohio and Kentucky will come back to the Ruby Memorial Hospital-based WVU Children’s Hospital. To find out which Dairy Queen stores are included in the Miracle Treat Day festivities, visit www.miracletreatday.com/#storeLocator.
For the second year, Blizzard enthusiasts can also RSVP to Miracle Treat Day on Facebook. Each “join” will be matched with a $1 donation – up to $50,000 – to the cause. To RSVP, visit www.facebook.com/events/460560554040017.
“Events like Miracle Treat Day are a great vehicle for people across the state and region to learn more about what we do at WVU Children’s Hospital. Just because we aren’t in their backyard like we are for the folks in Morgantown doesn’t mean we aren’t here to help them when they need us,” Cheryl Jones, R.N., director of WVU Children’s Hospital, said.
