LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Panda Express announced that they will pledge $1,171,840 through its philanthropic foundation, Panda Cares, to Arkansas Children's.
“This generous support from Panda Express helps advance the mission of championing children by making them better today and healthier tomorrow,” said Fred Scarborough, executive vice president, and chief communications development officer for Arkansas Children's.
The donation will help support the hospital school at Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) in Little Rock.

“Panda Cares’ four pillars of child well-being – mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual – complement our vision: our promise to define and deliver unprecedented child health. As a founding member of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Arkansas Children's is forever grateful for this support from Panda Express,” Scarborough added.
