Dairy Queen and DQ Grill & Chill locations across South Dakota are participating in the annual Miracle Treat Day today (Oct. 28, 2021).
Pierre store general manager Jennifer Uecker says participating locations will donate $1 or more of the proceeds from today’s Blizzard® and Blizzard® coupon sales to the Children’s Miracle Network. She says while people enjoy the ice cream, the coupons have become really popular.
Uecker says they’re ready for what they hope is a very busy day.
Dairy Queen and DQ Grill & Chill locations in central South Dakota participating are in Pierre, Chamberlain, Eagle Butte, Miller, Mobridge, Redfield and Winner.
Even though the national event was canceled last year, South Dakota Dairy Queen operators still hosted their own version of “Miracle Treat Day” to raise money for the kids. They rallied to raise more than $100,000. The funds raised support specialized equipment, programs, and direct child and family assistance.
The Sanford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls is this region’s only Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.
