You can treat yourself today, for a great cause - the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation - as it's Miracle Treat Day today at DQ! 

"It's a win-win type of fundraiser for sure," said Jada Cook, the Community Engagement Manager with the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation.

Stewart Holditch from Dairy Queen Steinbach notes that coupons are a great way for businesses to purchase blizzards in bulk, without overwhelming the store:
