Pierre’s Dairy Queen fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals raised over $7-thousand yesterday (Thurs.).
Pierre store general manager Jennifer Uecker says people purchased 7,060 blizzards or blizzard coupons– 358 more than last year.
She says $1 or more from the sale of each blizzard or blizzard coupon will be sent to the Sanford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls. Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals support research and training, purchase equipment and pay for the care of some patients who are unable pay.
Dairy Queen headquarters canceled this year’s nationwide Miracle Treat Day fundraiser because of COVID-19, so the stores in South Dakota created their own version of the annual fundraiser.
2020: 7060 blizzards or blizzard coupons
2019: 6702 blizzards or blizzard coupons
2018: 6620 blizzards or blizzard coupons
Congratulations Jen, the entire DQ team, all the volunteers who helped and the entire community for supporting such a great cause! So proud to be a part of this community! Absolutely heartwarming.
