Eat a Blizzard

This Thursday, August 7, Dairy Queen is hosting an event they’re calling “Miracle Treat Day” and will be donating the proceeds from every Blizzard they sell to the Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children's hospitals across North America.

I have a very personal interest in this as my younger brother was diagnosed with cancer before his second birthday and wasn’t supposed to live to see his third. Thanks to the grace of God and the work of the Children’s Miracle Network my brother Caleb is alive to this day and serving at a church in Durango, Colorado as worship pastor.

I realize that many of my readers are broke and can rarely donate extra money to good causes like this. That’s fine. But it’s hot outside and surely you can afford to purchase a Blizzard to cool off and give a little money to a very worthy cause.

Besides, Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzards are good for you. They have fruit in them!
