For 16 years, the largest Asian dining concept and their nonprofit partner have joined together to change kids' health to change the future

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and Panda Express are celebrating the anniversary of a partnership that has raised more than $150 million for member children's hospitals across the U.S. and Canada since 2007.  

Panda Cares®, the philanthropic arm of Panda Express, will commemorate the day by celebrating Panda Cares Day® on August 8, 2023. Children's Miracle Network Hospitals will receive 25% of net sales from online orders on that day via the Panda Express website and the Panda Express app with the code "PCD2023" at checkout*.  

“Corporate partners are the engine that has driven Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ success in raising more than $8.5 billion throughout our 40 years of dedication,” said Teri Nestel, president and CEO of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

"Corporate partners are the engine that has driven Children's Miracle Network Hospitals' success in raising more than $8.5 billion throughout our 40 years of dedication," said Teri Nestel, president and CEO of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. "Our 16-year partnership with Panda Express has allowed our member hospitals to provide holistic care for children, that addresses their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs, and advances our mission of changing kids' lives to change the future." 

"We're thrilled to celebrate Panda Cares Day with our longtime partners Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and humbled to have the community come together to further our mission of inspiring better lives on this special day," said Dr. Peggy Cherng, co-founder and co-CEO of Panda Restaurant Group. "Children are our future, and we hope that through this partnership and the Panda Cares Centers of Hope, we give children the strength to thrive and fulfill their highest possibilities."

Panda Express guests are invited to donate all year round by rounding at the register, during checkout on online orders, or through in-store donation boxes. Additionally, honoring the company's dedication to giving time and resources to their communities, Panda Express associates support Children Miracle Network Hospitals across the country and enthusiastically raised more than $507,600 in the latest campaign in March.  

Panda Cares donations through the years have led to the establishment of Panda Cares Centers of Hope (PCCOH) at many member Children's Miracle Network Hospitals across the nation. These centers are special spaces, providing a safe and comforting environment where kids can have a variety of resources that empowers them with the joys of being a kid. Programs and services offered through the centers inspire hope and promote healing by addressing a child's entire well-being, including their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. They help give patients and their families courage and strength, while serving as a haven for them to escape the stress of medical care and treatment.  

Panda Cares Centers of Hope programs are designed to address the following needs of children: 

Mental health and development: Quiet, comforting spaces that are dedicated to reading, learning and growing can give kids and families the ability to continue their curriculum or spend time together. These spaces can be found at some member hospitals, including a library at Children's National in Washington, D.C. 

Emotional well-being: Wellness programs including art, pet and music therapy can reduce stress and build resilience and emotional strength for patients and families.  These PCCOH programs can be found at some member hospitals including a dedicated child life space for patients and siblings, like the one at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, TX.  

Physical development: Physical, occupational and recreational therapies can improve motor skills and advance recovery for patients and families. These PCCOH programs can be found at some member hospitals, including Children's Health in Dallas, TX. 

Spiritual support: Pastoral care, meditation, and counseling services can provide additional support to patients and families. These PCCOH programs can be found at some member hospitals, including a spiritual care center at Children's Hospital of Orange County in Orange, CA. 

"All of these programs address needs that are essential to a child's full well-being and are largely supported by philanthropic funding," said Nestel. "Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and our corporate partners like Panda Express are here to ensure that kids get all of the care they require to achieve their full potential."
