2024 Slurpee Day Cup
This year's cup for Slurpee Day has special meaning.
As part of a relationship between 7-Eleven and Children's Miracle Network, the cup was designed by a 7-year-old artist named Nolan.
When Nolan was 3 years old he was diagnosed with retinoblastoma and had to have his left eye surgically removed.
He was fitted with a prosthetic eye, which he calls his "superhero eye" and underwent chemotherapy.
Nolan was treated at CHRISTUS Children's Hospital in San Antonio and completed his treatment before his fourth birthday.
Customers can get one free small Slurpee® drink today when visiting 7-Eleven®, Speedway® and Stripes® stores
Now 7 years old, Nolan designed this year's cup for Slurpee Day. It features drawings of kids enjoying the frozen treat.
7-Eleven stores will have the ability to donate to The Children's Miracle Network.
