Rocktown Now<\/a>) \u2014 Ice cream lovers across Central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley can support pediatric patients while enjoying a sweet treat during Dairy Queen\u2019s annual Miracle Treat Day on Thursday, July 30.<\/p>\nParticipating Dairy Queen locations will donate $1 from every Blizzard Treat sold to UVA Health Children\u2019s as part of the Children\u2019s Miracle Network Hospitals fundraiser.<\/p>\n
The proceeds will help provide resources and support for children receiving care at UVA Health Children\u2019s and their families.
