Wednesday was supposed to be the day that Dairy Queen launched its new Bing Candy Bar Blizzard fundraiser to help benefit the Siouxland Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Jeanne Steinkamp of the Alzheimer’s Association says that meant the Blizzard would not kick off their event entitled “The Longest Day”, to raise funds and awareness for the association held annually on the summer solstice:

But Dairy Queen made it up to the Alzheimer’s Association for the delay, presenting Steinkamp with a $5000 check at the Morningside DQ:

Schoenrock says the Bing Blizzard will make it into Dairy Queens around the country eventually:

There’s no set timetable to when the Bing Blizzard will be available at this time.
