Next Thursday, July 30th, Dairy Queen locations across Texas are participating in Miracle Treat Day, an annual fundraiser that directly supports Children’s Miracle Network hospitals. The Lubbock-area Dairy Queen restaurants will donate $1 or more from every Blizzard sold to UMC Children’s Hospital, ensuring that the money stays local and benefits kids in our region. For West Texas families, this means access to specialized pediatric care without having to travel hundreds of miles for treatment. It’s one of those community initiatives that actually makes a measurable difference in people’s lives.
To make this year special, Dairy Queen introduced three limited-time Blizzard flavors available through August 3rd: Biscoff Cookie, Mexican-Style Hot Chocolate with ABUELITA, and Strawberry Mango Mochi. Whether you’re a Blizzard loyalist or looking to branch out, this is your window to try something new while supporting a cause that matters. The beauty of Miracle Treat Day is that you don’t have to choose between enjoying yourself and helping others. You get both in one trip.
The numbers are impressive. Over 42 years, Miracle Treat Day has raised more than $195 million across 170 Children’s Miracle Network hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. That’s real impact from simple community participation. So mark your calendar for July 30th, grab your favorite or try one of the new flavors, and know that you’re making a difference for kids in Lubbock and throughout West Texas. Which new flavor are you most excited to try?
