STERLING — DQ, in partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, is working to change kids’ health and bring hope to University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital through their annual Miracle Treat Day on Thursday, July 25.

When a Blizzard Treat is purchased at the DQ location in Sterling and Rock Falls on Miracle Treat Day, Thursday, July 25, $1 or more is donated to University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital, a Children’s Miracle Network member hospital. Funds provide urgent, high-quality care kids need to thrive and offer their families comfort in knowing what’s next.
