7-Eleven Has Free Slurpees for 7/11 — and a 7-Year-Old Cancer Survivor Designed a Special Cup for the Day

The annual 7-Eleven Day is always celebrated with one free Slurpee

It’s July 11 (7/11) so you know what that means: Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven.

Fans can score the annual Slurpee freebies at all 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores on Thursday, July 11. Just like in previous years, customers can get a free small Slurpee of any flavor on the special day.

There are classic flavors to choose from including cherry, Coca-Cola, blue raspberry and piña colada. Plus, there are limited-edition flavors to try like Mtn Dew Freedom Fusion and peach candy lemonade.

This year’s Slurpee Day is extra special not only because it marks 7-Eleven’s 97th birthday. The convenience store chain teamed up with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals to create a special Slurpee cup for the day. Children's Miracle Network Hospitals National Champion, 7-year-old Nolan, designed the cup with illustrations of children sipping on Slurpees.

Nolan was diagnosed with retinoblastoma when he was 3. He had his eye removed and underwent chemotherapy to "make sure it didn't spread to his other eye," his mom, Dr. Courtney Smith, said in a video posted by the hospital in April. He completed treatment by his fourth birthday.

"Today, he thrives with a prosthetic eye and enjoys his regular check-ups at the hospital," Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals posted on Instagram.

Several other fast food restaurants also have meal deals as of late. Sonic just introduced a new $1.99 menu, dubbed the Fun.99 Menu, which includes a snack, entrée and dessert. The options include items like the new queso wraps, quarter-pound double cheeseburger, chili cheese coney, small tots and a 16-ounce shake in 12 different flavors.

Chains like Taco Bell, McDonald’s and Wendy’s each have their own new meal deals for just a few dollars more.

Taco Bell’s $7 Luxe Cravings Box, which was introduced on June 27, consists of a Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Double Stacked Taco, chips with cheese sauce and a medium drink. The bundled deal equates to 55% off compared to if you were to buy the items separately, according to a release.

On June 20, McDonald’s and Wendy’s both, maybe not-so-coincidentally, announced their meal deals.

The Big Mac makers rolled out a $5 Meal Deal, including the customer’s choice of a McDouble or McChicken sandwich with small fries, four-piece chicken McNuggets and a soft drink.

Meanwhile, Wendy’s updated their Biggie Bag to include a free Frosty in addition to the usual offering of a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger or Crispy Chicken Sandwich, four-piece nuggets, Jr. Hot & Crispy Fries and a small soft drink. The free Frosty was only available through June 30, but fans can still swap out the drink for a junior Frosty at no extra cost.
