Grab a Blizzard From One of These Locations and Help Nicklaus Children’s Hospital

If you needed an excuse to grab a Blizzard today, this might be the sweetest one yet.

Thursday, July 30 is Dairy Queen’s annual Miracle Treat Day, and participating DQ locations across South Florida will donate $1 or more from every Blizzard Treat sold to benefit Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, South Florida’s Children’s Miracle Network hospital.

That means your favorite frozen treat can help provide life-saving care, advanced medical equipment, groundbreaking research and support for local children and their families.

Nicklaus Children’s Hospital has been caring for children in South Florida for more than 75 years and is the region’s only licensed specialty hospital dedicated exclusively to pediatric care. The hospital serves families throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Indian River counties.

Need help deciding what to order? Angelo, a Nicklaus Children’s Champion Child, recommends the Oreo Cookie Blizzard.
