Celebrate Panda Cares Day with Panda Express on August 8 and help UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital

UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital is excited to celebrate Panda Cares Day on August 8. Why? Because Panda Express is hosting a one-day virtual fundraiser for area kids treated at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital. When a guest places an order on the Panda Express mobile app or website using the promo code “PandaCaresDay,” Panda will donate 28 percent of online sales to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, including our local CMN Hospital, UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital.

Donations collected year-round at local Panda Express locations have helped kids like Izabella receive the best care possible! Izabella received a heart and lung transplant at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital when she was only 13 months old, making her one of the youngest patients to ever receive a new heart and lungs. Thanks to the support of CMN Hospitals and the incredible care she received at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital, Izabella is now 8 years old and loves to run and play with her three sisters!

Additionally, UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital is excited to recognize Panda Express for the more than $76,000 raised for UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital by local stores in 2019. These funds help support transformative research, life-saving equipment, and special services for the more than 50,000 pediatric patients treated at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital each year. Since 2007, Panda Express has raised more than $250,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital
