Thursday you can cool down, and give back to ECU Health’s Maynard Children’s Hospital, all while getting a sweet treat. It’s all a part of Dairy Queen’s annual Miracle Treat Day.
Every one dollar off a blizzard sold, will go back to help Maynard Children’s Hospital. Officials from ECU Health say in the past 20 years, Dairy Queen has raised nearly $200,000 for Maynard Children’s Hospital.
“We fund things from different types of equipment. So big transport trucks, down to little tiny vein finders for NICU babies, to supporting different programs at our children’s hospital like our child life program,” says Elise Ironmonger, Director of Programs for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at ECU Health Foundation.
Locations that are taking part include, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, Greenville, Havelock, both Jacksonville locations, Morehead City, New Bern, Pine Knoll Shores, Roanoke Rapids, Sneads Ferry, Williamston and Winterville.
