Dairy Queen's Miracle Treat Day: Francisco Lindor Supports Children's Hospitals
New York Mets' All-Star shortstop, Francisco Lindor, is teaming up with Dairy Queen once again for a charitable event aimed at supporting children's hospitals. This isn't the first time Lindor has partnered with the ice cream giant for a good cause.
Lindor, who is currently making a second-half push for a postseason berth, sees this as an opportunity for Mets fans to be part of a wonderful initiative. Dairy Queen is holding a "Miracle Treat Day" on July 31, and every Blizzard Treat purchased at a participating United States Dairy Queen location on this day will result in a donation to local children's hospitals through Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Over the past 41 years, the Dairy Queen system has raised over $185 million for children's hospitals through this partnership. Maria Hokanson, executive vice president of marketing at American Dairy Queen Corporation, emphasized the significance of Miracle Treat Day.
During a recent trip with the Mets to face the Minnesota Twins, Lindor visited Gillette Children's Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. There, he got to see first-hand the impact of the Dairy Queen 'Miracle Treat Day' promotion. Lindor expressed appreciation for Dairy Queen's support of children's hospitals and stated that purchasing a Blizzard Treat is a "no-brainer" as it helps children going through life challenges.
As a father of three, Lindor finds Dairy Queen's core values meaningful. He shared fun moments with children at Gillette Children's Hospital and expressed enthusiasm about the impact this promotion has on children's hospitals.
Dairy Queen's fundraising efforts extend beyond Miracle Treat Day. Funds raised support critical treatments, medical equipment, research, child life services, and financial assistance for families at member hospitals of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The scale of fundraising is national, with local Dairy Queen locations also contributing through campaigns such as Free Cone Day, Round-up campaigns, and Miracle Balloon Campaign.
Lindor, known for his off-the-field community impact, is encouraging Mets fans to participate in this worthy cause. So, mark your calendars for July 31 and head to your nearest participating Dairy Queen location to enjoy a Blizzard Treat while making a difference in a child's life.
