It's Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day in support of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, a day where 100 per cent of net proceeds from every Blizzard sold goes back to kids in need.
Over 83,000 individuals from 575 Saskatchewan communities visit the Children's Hospital each year. As the only Saskatchewan member of Children’s Miracle Network Canada, the Foundation helps fund things like specialized pediatric and maternal equipment, along with innovative research and the vital programming that keeps families together.
If a Blizzard treat isn't in the cards today, donations are still possible at any Dairy Queen location. Combining Blizzard sales with donations, in 2024 Saskatchewan raised $249,000 throughout their 53 locations.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have once again been heavily involved in this year's campaign. Through the foundation two players, offensive linemen Logan Ferland and Jermarcus Hardrick, have had the privilege of getting to know the strong young man below, Henry.
