Today is Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen, where 100 per cent of the proceeds from every Blizzard will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network. Every size of Blizzard, from mini to large, is included as well as coupons for Blizzards.
Stewart Holditch from Dairy Queen Steinbach notes that coupons are a great way for businesses to purchase blizzards in bulk, without overwhelming the store:
“If you’re thinking like, yah, I’d like to get 100 Blizzards but you realize that’s probably not going to be good for us on the operation side of things [...] we can definitely still sell you a coupon that’s redeemable any time, doesn’t expire [...] but all those proceeds as well will go towards the donation that we make.”
Additionally, all donations will be spent locally, in Manitoba.
Miracle Treat Day lasts all day, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Dairy Queen in Steinbach.
