NEWS RELEASE
DAIRY QUEEN
*************************
From Monday, Oct. 5 until Sunday, Oct. 11, Dairy Queen fans in Barrie are invited to support sick kids by ordering from their local participating Dairy Queen stores.
Promotions, which vary depending on location, will raise much-needed funds for Sick Kids to support the children and families in need.
Promotions include $5 for every DQ Cake or Blizzard Cake 8" or larger sold. Funds will be raised through in-store, pick-up, and drive-thru orders.
On average, 35,000 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network Member hospital each week. That’s 5,000 per day or 62 per minute.
To support the children and their families receiving treatment at local children’s hospitals, Dairy Queen employees, franchisees, volunteers and stakeholders come together throughout the year to help raise funds.
Since the partnership began in 1984, DQ® has become a top contributor to Children’s Miracle Network, with over $135 million raised to-date in support of sick and injured children across North America.
