Annual CMN Miracle Balloon campaign at DQ raises money for UC Davis Children’s Hospital

(SACRAMENTO)

July in Northern California often means record temperatures and the desire to go somewhere cool. Enter local Dairy Queen restaurants. 11 area locations  are once again offering customers a chance to do something cool: help sick and injured children like Avery who nearly drowned but received lifesaving care at UC Davis Children’s Hospital.

Now through July 31, you can help DQ continue to make a huge impact in the local community by donating to CMN at UC Davis through the purchase of a Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Miracle Balloon. Every dollar raised stays local to help UC Davis Children’s Hospital provide world-class care for pediatric patients in 33 local counties.


There’s a Blizzard in the forecast! Visit one of 11 participating locations across the greater Sacramento region to donate to CMN at UC Davis.

DQ has been a CMN partner since 1984, raising more than $159 million for local children’s hospitals across North America. Northern California customers can add to that total by purchasing a Miracle Balloon at participating locations in the following cities: Truckee, Roseville (Douglas Boulevard), Citrus Heights, Orangevale, Sacramento (Arden Way, Fruitridge Road), Stockton, Manteca, Vacaville, Yuba City and Redding.
