Panda Express has pledged $5 million to the California-based pediatric healthcare system, known as CHOC, as part of the Panda Cares Center of Hope philanthropic initiative to support children's hospitals' programs and services. The donation will help fund education, research, technology, and patient-and family-centered care across CHOC's system, a news release said.

A national initiative launched last year, Panda Cares Center of Hope is a partnership with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. It supports programs that address children's mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs.

Since 2007, Panda Express and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals have partnered together to positively impact children's heath and wellbeing. To date, Panda has raised more than $100 million, through donations from guests and associates, for numerous Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
