Burnabarians have a chance to put some smiles on the faces of sick children.
From now until Oct. 11, if you buy certain items at Burnaby Dairy Queens, money will go to BC Children's Hospital to support the children and families in need.
As part of the fundraising initiative, $5 will be donated for every DQ cake or Blizzard cake eight inches or larger sold. Funds will be raised through in-store, pick-up and drive-thru orders.
In addition to the in-store fundraising, Dairy Queen is calling on Canadians to take part in the DQ Dance Challenge
Dairy Queen’s Dance Challenge asks Canadians to do the DQ Dip & Curl Dance, a threee-step dance routine inspired by DQ’s soft-dipped cone. From now until Oct. 11, 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.
On average, 35,000 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network hospital each week. That’s 5,000 per day or 62 per minute.
