Celebrating Panda Cares Day!

Today, CHOC is celebrating Panda Cares Day!

Following the establishment of its inaugural Panda Cares Day™ in 2019, Panda Cares®, the philanthropic arm of Panda Express®, commemorates its anniversary on August 8th every year with a celebration of giving back. Today, we’re celebrating this incredible partnership and the impact it has had on our community.

Since 2007, Panda Express has raised funds for local children’s hospitals across the country through its partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. By asking every guest to round-up at the register, placing donation boxes in-store, engaging in the associate (employee) giving campaign, and fundraising with corporate partners through their annual golf tournament, Panda is one of the highest-giving corporate partners CMN Hospitals has. In 2020, even with ongoing impacts to the restaurant industry, Panda Express guests and associates raised more than $22M for CMN Hospitals, helping the organization change kids’ health and change the future.

Panda Express has donated more than $2.3 million to CHOC in addition to being generous with in-kind donations. Most recently, Panda Express pledged $5 million as a part of the Panda Cares® Centers of Hope, a program and space where children can heal physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. At CHOC, we love celebrating this partnership every day!
