Miracle Treat Day is just around the corner!
Posted by admin under A Smile and a Story®,In the Community on
Miracle Treat Day is just around the corner – Aug. 5 in the US and Aug. 12 in Canada! It is a very special day for us at Dairy Queen® and we hope you can be a part of it!
Over the last 26 years, DQ® has raised over $81 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals throughout North America. We are making miracles happen as we speak! Children’s Miracle Network treats 17 million children each year to help overcome diseases and injuries of every kind. It is truly amazing what they do! Last year, $4.5 million was raised on Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals, and we are hoping to top that this year!
We hope you will come out to a participating DQ® store to help make miracles happen. When you buy a Blizzard® Treat on Miracle Treat Day, $1 or more will benefit your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. All funds raised stay local, so you will be helping the children in your own community!
On Miracle Treat Day, treat yourself to a Blizzard Treat while you help to save and improve the lives of children. Visit miracletreatday.com to find a participating location near you.
And check out the video below of John Gainor, President and CEO of International Dairy Queen Corporation, as he talks about the incredible power of Miracle Treat Day.

Thank you for this wonderful event! We saw the commercial (which was heartwarming) and we jumped up to get a Blizzard at our local DQ. Again, thank you!
Hiya!
Question: How do I go about getting my Free Blizzard for buying one? I know I have to buy six a year, but I’m not sure what the deal is with how I get coupons or when! Please help, it’s hot and we’re melting…

8 staff in our office just bought Blizzards!
@Perry — that’s great! THANKYOU!
Who writes your commercials that appear on television? The most recent that I have seen with a couple in the car sneaking a mini-blizzard. The correct grammar in his last comment should be, “you are worse than “I am”, NOT, you are worse than “me”. For an english major and anyone else that is trained in the english language, it is really offensive. You are not the only company that abuses this phrase.
Thank you for listening.
Will still consume your products, but not listen to your TV ads.

Thanks, Karen, for sharing your comments about our commercial. I’ll ensure our marketing team is aware.
My daughter has been asking for a blizzard ice cream machine that mixes ice cream and candy together. Do thes exist and if so where can you buy them? Thanks Lisa
Lisa, yes, the Blizzard Machine is a real ice cream maker. It should be available at any department store where kids toys are sold. You may also contact Spin Master customer care Toll Free: 1 800 622 8339
I hope this helps!
Can you explain what the commercial with the couple in the car with Blizzards means? Nobody that I have asked can figure it out.
Keith, it’s about the BlizzardMobile tour coming to an end and also talking about the launch of our new Blizzard Treat size the Mini.
Dear Dairy Queen Marketing Team,
The commercial for the new Blizzard Mini with the couple laying in their car is so nauseating to listen to, especially the woman when she says in a slurpiing, whispering voice, “We’re being so bad.”
Several people have commented on how gross it is and the last thing it does is make us want to eat your products. Please move on to a new ad for your new treat. That couple and their lick smacking dialogue makes one want to vomit.
I only use this colorful language to convey how sincere we are in never seeing that ad again.
Thank you for your consideration.

Do not order from spinmaster for a blizzard machine. They have not sent mine that I ordered Aug.12 and paid for express shipping. They have not returned my e-mails or phone calls this site is a Rip Off.
Brenda, I am so sorry to hear this. I cannot imagine what has happened. I have followed up with the folks at Spinmaster on your behalf. I am sure you will hear shortly. Additionally, here is the contact information for the Spinmaster customer care team:
