It is a nice hot day for a cool treat, and if you picked a Dairy Queen Blizzard for that treat it also helped a good cause.

For all Blizzards bought today, a portion of the money goes to Riley Hospital in Indianapolis.

Dairy Queens across the country are celebrating “Miracle Treat Day.”

Workers at this one in Niles say they have sold at least twice the average number of Blizzards today.

And asking the customers, it is easy to see why.

"I had a cousin that was just up there at Riley Hospital last year, and they treated her really good. Good place,” said Tammy Miller, who purchased a Reese’s cup Blizzard.

Four Dairy Queens in the South Bend area rank in the top-ten statewide in funding for Riley Hospital.
