Residents in Weyburn are invited to support sick kids from Monday, October 5 until Sunday, October 11, by ordering from their local participating Dairy Queen stores.
Promotions will raise much-needed funds for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon to support the children and families in need.
As part of the fundraising initiative, $2 or more will be donated from every Blizzard sold. Funds will be raised through in-store, pick-up and drive-through orders.
In addition to the in store fundraising, Dairy Queen is calling on Canadians to take part in the DQ Dance Challenge with a goal to spread joy through movement as a simple way to raise money to provide healing and happiness to kids across Canada.
Dairy Queen’s Dance Challenge asks Canadians to do the DQ Dip & Curl Dance, a simple 3-step dance routine inspired by DQ’s iconic soft dipped cone. From now until October 11th, every time someone posts a video of them doing the DQ Dip and Curl dance to Instagram and/or Facebook using the hashtag #DQDanceChallenge and tagging @DQCanada, DQ will donate $1 to local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network up to $25,000. Dairy Queen is encouraging Canadians to challenge friends through tagging them in their post to help spread the word.
On average, 35,000 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network hospital each week. That’s 5,000 per day or 62 per minute.
To support the children and their families receiving treatment at the Children’s Hospital, 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.
