DQ Balloon Campaign

A 42-year partner of Children's Miracle Network, Dairy Queen, through its charitable giving program DQ Cares, and DQ franchisees have raised and donated more than $195 million for member children’s hospitals, including Children's Health. Nearly $2 million of the funds raised each year come from Miracle Treat Day, a one-day event where $1 or more from every Blizzard® Treat sold at participating locations benefits children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada. Here are the events that local DQs hold to support Children's Health:

Children's Miracle Network Balloon Campaign - Every day during the month of June and July, you can show your support for Children's Health at participating Dairy Queen locations by purchasing a Children's Miracle Network balloon icon.

Miracle Treat Day - Visit participating Dairy Queen locations on Miracle Treat Day (July 30, 2026) and purchase a Dairy Queen Blizzard® Treat with a portion of proceeds benefiting Children's Health.

Round-Up at the Register - At participating Dairy Queen locations throughout the year, your change makes a change! Round up your bill at the register with all proceeds benefiting Children's Health.

Dip it for Kids - Dip your ice cream cone on Free Cone Day, the First Day of Spring, and $1 will go back to Children's Health at participating locations.

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals that support the health of 10 million kids each year across the U.S. and Canada. Donations go to local hospitals, including Children's Health, to fund critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services, along with innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, child life services that put kids’ and families’ minds at ease during difficult hospital stays, and financial assistance for families who could not otherwise afford these health services.
