How to Help Those in Need While Eating Ice Cream in Idaho

Who doesn't love ice cream? It is good anytime of year, but especially during the summer. Nothing beats having a nice cup or cone of delicious ice cream on a warm summer day. There are many places to get ice cream around the Gem State, especially in the Magic Valley. There are local places, big chains, and even some hidden gems. There are many ways to enjoy it and many different flavors, and it can often be tough to choose. On Thursday, July 31, everyone should go to the same place to get some ice cream, as doing so could help those in need and make your belly happy at the same time.

Miracle Treat Day at DQ

This Thursday, July 31, everyone in the Magic Valley should head to the closest Dairy Queen, as DQ will be having Miracle Treat Day. You may be asking, 'What is Miracle Treat Day?' For every Blizzard bought at DQ on Thursday, $1 or more will be donated to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The best part about these donations is that they stay local. They benefit local children's hospitals, and wherever the funds are raised, they stay in that area. DQ has raised more than $185 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and is hoping to add much more to that this year. You can read more about Miracle Treat Day by clicking the link above.

Currently, they are offering summer options that will soon be going away and are perfect to get on the 31st. If you haven't tried them yet, they are currently offering s'mores, cotton candy, confetti cake, dipped strawberry cheesecake, and a mixing bowl mashup. All offer their flavor and unique taste to a classic item.
