Founded in 1999, the Phoenix Women's Board of the Steele Children's Research Center, affectionately known as PANDA, supports discovery processes to improve treatments and cures for devastating childhood diseases. The strong and unique partnership between the PANDA members and the researchers and physicians at the Steele Center has made it possible for us to embody our name, People Acting Now Discovering Answers.

We are very proud of out continued contributions to the Steele Center. To date, we have raised more than $3.7 million dollars to support vital research and treatments for children. This includes purchasing cutting-edge research equipment, recruiting physicians who are renowned in their fields of study, and establishing the PANDA Aerodigestive Disorders Center, the PANDA Children's Neurological Center and the Panda Children's Cancer Immunology Program. Our latest project, PANDA Healthy Babies, is another one-of-a-kind program that will strive to advance the field of neonatology through research.

We are grateful to the community for the continued support for our organization and look forward to this continued partnership that improves the lives of children not only in Arizona, but across the Unites States and beyond.
