On Thursday, July 28, Dairy Queen (DQ) is serving hope to kids and their families for Miracle Treat Day (MTD) at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, a member hospital of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Participating DQ locations are coming together to change kids’ health and change the future.

“We are so grateful for everything our local Dairy Queens do for our infants and kids treated at Phoebe. Our hospital and community are always excited to support this effort. Buying a Blizzard on July 28 is something easy and delicious everyone in our community can do, and every dollar directly helps Phoebe’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients,” said Carolyn Higgins, President & Chief Fundraising Officer, Phoebe Foundation.

When you purchase a BLIZZARD Treat at participating DQ locations on Miracle Treat Day, $1 or more stays local and directly helps children in the community by providing urgent, high-quality care kids need to thrive. 

During its 38-year sponsorship, the DQ brand has raised more than $166 million to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Every penny raised locally to benefit Children’s Miracle Network stays in southwest Georgia to help medical professionals treat our local children. Since 1997, Children’s Miracle Network supporters have raised more than $4.5 million to provide specialized equipment and programs to help babies and children treated at Phoebe. From life-saving equipment to help treat the most critically ill newborns to life-enhancing toys in the Pediatric Unit playroom, every child needing Phoebe’s care has benefited from funds raised through the Children’s Miracle Network.

“This year, all funds raised on Miracle Treat Day will help make our new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit possible. Phoebe is excited to expand our NICU and enhance neonatal care. We can’t wait to see the impact this life-saving project has on our community,” added Higgins.
