Today all blizzard proceeds go to the children’s hospital foundation.
Matt Zubec, the business consultant for the Manitoba district, says net proceeds from all blizzard sales go to the children’s hospital in Winnipeg.
“Last year, we raised 160 thousand dollars in Manitoba alone and that stays here and will go to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, to help them offset costs that are not in the budget that comes down from the government. Then they can buy some specialized equipment for the children.”
This year, DQ has added 4 stores in Manitoba including the one here in Dauphin and Zubec is hoping to beat last year’s total.
Zubec says this is the 17th anniversary of Miracle Treat Day.
DQ has been raising money for hospitals for 35 years, helping out 170 hospitals and raising 145 million dollars.
