Posted by The Web Master under In the Community on
Thursday, Aug. 13, 2009 is Miracle Treat Day, and if you haven’t read any of our other posts regarding Miracle Treat Day, or haven’t been motivated to head out to a particpating Dairy Queen® location yet, here’s a little more information for your regarding this amazing day.
Since 1984, the DQ® system has raised over $77 million to help make miracles happen for children at Children’s Miracle Network hospitals throughout North America. On Miracle Treat Day 2008, DQ raised $5.7 million for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals, and we hope to raise as much, if not more, this summer.
Buy a Blizzard® Treat at a participating DQ® location tomorrow and $1 or more per Blizzard will benefit the Children’s Miracle Network hospital in your area. The funds raised stay local, so you’ll be helping to save and improve the lives of children in your community!
Remember to buy a Blizzard Treat on Aug. 13 and SAVE A LIFE!

We love Dairy Queen in Joyceland.
Where is the mention of the Madison SD Dairy Queen that sold over 18,000 blizzards (the town has population of ~6000)!
Cindy, you are so right in the mentioning the Dairy Queen location in Madison who has done an amazing job in supporting Miracle Treat Day every year. Our Chief Brand Officer had the opportunity to visit this store last week and his blog post on Thursday will actually talk about his experience!
When are you going to remove trans-fats from your products?
Hi, Jack! I am sorry for the delays in my response to your post. IDQ is aware that trans fat is top of mind for many of our consumers. Currently, we are in the process of reformulating all of our approved menu items from authorized suppliers to eliminate artificial trans fats by 2010. We also require all DQ Grill & Chill®, Dairy Queen®/Brazier®, and Dairy Queen®/Limited Brazier® restaurants to use a frying oil with zero grams of trans fat per serving. With all of this said, it is important that we note that menu items such as dairy and beef products have naturally occurring trans fats that cannot be elminated. I hope this helps answer your question!
