Panda. Cares PANDA CARES BRINGS HOPE TO YOUTH IN NEED Our purpose is to serve the Health and Education needs of underserved youth and to foster the spirit of giving. Established in 1999, Panda Cares is the philanthropic arm of Panda Restaurant Group. We are committed to serving the communities in which we operate by providing food, funding and volunteer services to underserved youth, and disaster relief efforts. Panda Cares Foundation is powered by the in-store donation box program as well as Panda associates and valued business partners. At Panda, our founders, Andrew and Peggy Cherng, believe that good fortune is best when shared. This belief is the inspiration behind our core value of giving. FOOD DONATION PROGRAM Panda Cares is proud to work directly with local organizations throughout the country to support events, with Panda's associates volunteering to serve food. We focus our efforts on events that benefit the health or education needs of underserved youth. PANDA CARES CHARITY GOLF INVITATIONAL Our Annual Golf Tournament ignites the spirit of giving among Panda's family of associates and our extended family of business partners. Together, we have raised $20 Million since 1999 for youth in need. Although our 22nd Annual Golf Tournament was postponed, Panda remained steadfast to our beneficiaries and donated $1.2 Million to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, pediatric divisions of City of Hope, Huntington Hospital and Methodist Hospital. ASSOCIATE GIVING CAMPAIGN At Panda, we believe that good fortune is meant to be shared. Through our annual Associate Giving Campaign, our family of associates can donate a portion of their check to their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. In 2021, our associates lived into the value of giving by pledging over $570,000 to their communities. PANDA CARES SCHOLARS PROGRAM In 2020, Panda established the Panda Cares Scholars Program to provide the necessary funding, academic support, and leadership development to help high school and college students learn, lead and thrive towards a bright future. Scholarships awarded through the Panda Cares Foundation are administered with the support of UNCF (the United Negro College Fund). PANDA CARES DAY, 8/8 Panda Cares commemorates its anniversary on August 8th, also known as Panda Cares Day, with a celebration of giving back. Each year on this day, we remember how Panda is privileged to bring joy to youth nationwide through the gifts of health and education.
