DQ Birthday Icon Campaign

April 1-30, 2025

Show your support for Children's Health by purchasing a Children's Miracle Network balloon icon at your local participating Dairy Queen. DQ is turning 85 and has chosen to include CMN Hospitals in their birthday celebrations for the month! DQ locations that choose to participate will be selling $1 birthday themed balloon icons throughout the month to raise funds for Children's Health. All proceeds from balloon icons sold locally will benefit Children's Health.

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.
