During its 38-year sponsorship, the DQ® brand has raised more than $166 million to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Every penny raised locally to benefit Children’s Miracle Network stays in southwest Georgia to help medical professionals treat our local children. Since 1997, Children’s Miracle Network supporters have raised more than $4.5 million to provide specialized equipment and programs to help babies and children treated at Phoebe. From life-saving equipment to help treat the most critically ill newborns to life-enhancing toys in the Pediatric Unit playroom, every child needing Phoebe’s care has benefited from funds raised through the Children’s Miracle Network.
“This year, all funds raised on Miracle Treat Day will help make our new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit possible. Phoebe is excited to expand our NICU and enhance neonatal care. We can’t wait to see the impact this life-saving project has on our community,” added Higgins.
