The DQ brand has partnered with CMN Hospitals for 39 years, and the DQ system across the U.S. and Canada has donated more than $175 million to children’s hospitals to date.
Shawn Johnson East wants children to receive the support they need through this initiative. “As a mother of two, Miracle Treat Day holds a special place in my heart as it allows us to help raise funds and provide support to children who need it the most,” said East. “Fans can enjoy a delicious treat and support children in their communities by simply buying a Blizzard Treat on Miracle Treat Day.”
