Panda Express Celebrates Record-Breaking Year

In 2021, Panda Express donated over $23,000 to Levine Children’s Hospital – a record-breaking fundraising year for our local Children’s Miracle Network partner made possible by the generosity of employees and customers. This year will mark another milestone for the restaurant company as it celebrates 15 years of partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Since then, Panda Express has raised over $100 million for local children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada through in-store donation boxes, an associate giving campaign, and annual golf invitationals.

IHOP Customers Batter Up for Children’s Health

Known for being ‘everything you love about breakfast’ IHOP restaurants nationwide have celebrated a 16-year history of battering up for sick and injured children treated at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, including Atrium Health Levine Children’s. During National Pancake Day – the breakfast chain’s signature annual fundraiser held each March – IHOP restaurants across the country served up millions of free pancakes, equating to millions of miracles at CMN hospitals, which rely on donations to provide exceptional patient care to sick and injured children. Locally, 15 IHOP restaurants participated in National Pancake Day and Miracle Balloon campaigns benefiting Levine Children's Hospital.
