Dairy Queen Helps Kids’ Health at El Paso Children’s Hospital on Miracle Treat Day Thursday, July 31.

Dairy Queen is helping change kids’ health and bringing hope at El Paso Children’s Hospital, a
member hospital of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. El Paso Children’s Hospital wants to
ensure the children in our community can lead healthy, fulfilling lives. But they can’t do it alone.
On Thursday, July 31, participating DQ® locations are giving back to positively change the
health of children in our community. $1 or more from every Blizzard® Treat sold at participating
DQ® locations will benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Through these donations,
El Paso Children’s Hospital can provide treatments and support patients desperately need today, so that they can fulfill their potential for tomorrow.

Patients like Xander are a powerful reminder of the impact compassionate care and community support can have. At just five months old, Xander’s life changed when he experienced his first seizure and was later diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome—a rare and severe form of epilepsy. His journey has been filled with challenges, from frequent seizures to medication side effects and developmental delays. But at El Paso Children’s Hospital, Xander found hope and expert care. With the support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and generous donations, he received a VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation) device that has significantly reduced his seizures. This life-changing device has given Xander the chance to enjoy a better quality of life and embrace more of the moments every child deserves.

The DQ® brand has been a proud partner of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals for over 40
years and has raised more than $72,000 locally for El Paso Children’s Hospital. Their support has
brought joy and hope to kids treated in the hospital in numerous ways — these donations have
helped purchase much needed equipment needed for our hospital as well as support the child life program. This allows patients to have a comforting guide through their experience at the hospital and explain procedures in a way that brings kids and their family understanding and comfort.

Children’s hospitals are at the frontlines when it comes to protecting the health of future
generations and DQ® locations nationwide want to help them foster the business owners,
creators and leaders of tomorrow. Thanks to your donation, this will continue to create a ripple
effect to change kids’ health to change the future in our community for years to come.
Thanks to you and the DQ® location in El Paso Texas for helping change kids’ health to
change the future at El Paso Children’s Hospital.
