Bring Health & Hope to Kids with Dairy Queen® this summer!
Throughout the year, DQ® fans demonstrate commitment to creating memorable moments and making a difference in how Cincinnati Children’s cares for kids through Children’s Miracle Network. DQ® doesn’t just have food and treats that put a smile on your face– DQ® creates meaningful moments for kids and families in our community.
Participating DQ® locations invite you to buy a balloon and provide needed funds for local member hospitals to help bring health and hope for kids treated in Cincinnati from June 1st – July 30th!
Children are at the center of everything we do and building a strong foundation for their tomorrow needs to start today. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals see what the future can be, and with support from you and DQ®, we can fund the most urgent needs at Cincinnati Children’s.
Your donations help Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals support the health of kids like Caleb, who has benefited from the care made possible through generous donations. Caleb was born with Eagle-Barrett syndrome, where his abdominal muscles didn’t form properly causing problems with his urinary tract. At age two, he was placed on a deceased donor waiting list after doctors determined he needed a new kidney.
“Children who are on dialysis are expected to live for only 20 years from where they are at, where the day a child receives a kidney transplant, their life expectancy goes up to 55 or 60 years,” said David Hooper, MD, MS, medical director of kidney transplantation at Cincinnati Children’s.
The Robbins’ family waited more than three years before they got word out of the blue, that a total stranger was a match for a living kidney donation. The transplant surgery was a success with both Caleb and his donor, Britteny, making full recoveries.
Today, Caleb is thriving with his new kidney. We’re so grateful for your efforts that help support kids like Caleb in our community!
Stop at a participating DQ® and give today so Cincinnati Children’s can continue helping our children lead healthy, fulfilling lives, while also bringing joy and happiness tomorrow. When we change kids’ health, we change the future – for all of us.
