Panda Restaurant Group, Inc. announces Panda Express will donate $1 from the sale of every 3-entrée plate at all locations from Monday, May 19 to Sunday, June 1. During the two-week period, guests will have the opportunity to help victims of the China earthquake and Myanmar cyclone when they visit any Panda Express restaurant across the country and purchase a 3-entrée plate. Money raised from this campaign will be donated to the American Red Cross China Relief Fund and the Tzu Chi Foundation, a compassion relief organization dedicated to helping all people.
'We are extremely saddened by the devastation and lives lost in China and Myanmar,' said Peggy Cherng, co-chairman of Panda Restaurant Group, Inc. (PRG), the parent company for Panda Express. 'Not only is the world community affected by these disasters, but many of our associates have experienced very personal tragedies as a result, so we are deeply committed to supporting the relief efforts.'
PRG is committed to raising up to $800,000 through the in-store fundraiser, which will take place at all Panda Express locations across 36 states from Monday, May 19 to Sunday, June 1. An additional $100,000 will be raised by PRG's 18,000 associates nation-wide, which includes a $100,000 matching fund from the company.
