The fair-weathered West Coast can expect to see a massive uptick in Blizzards on Dairy QueenÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Miracle Treat Day, Oct. 28.

For a 19th year, a portion of proceeds from each Blizzard treat bought on that day will go towards one of 12 ChildrenÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Miracle Network member hospitals in Canada.

WhatÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s raised local stays local, so every dollar donated will go directly to the hospital serving that community. In British Columbia, the majority of monies raised would support BC ChildrenÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Hospital in Vancouver.
