PANDA 2023 Daydream Believers

Hello, Daydream Believer.

On April 8, PANDA will celebrate childhood and the magic that happens when our community comes together to give kids a healthy start to life.

For 23 years, PANDA has been on a mission to make the world brighter and healthier for children everywhere. We’ve raised millions of dollars to help the physician-scientists at the Steele Children’s Research Center develop treatments and cures to give every kid the childhood they deserve. To create a world where a child’s only job is to play, giggle and daydream.

We’re looking forward to seeing a room full of believers and doers make  daydreams come true at PANDA’s 23rd Annual “Children Helping Children” Fashion Show & Luncheon on April 8, 2023 at the Arizona Biltmore.

Saturday, April 8, 2023
Arizona Biltmore – Phoenix, Arizona
Noon – Silent Auction & Happy Hour
1:00 pm – Fashion Show & Luncheon
4:30 pm – After Party

PANDA First 1,000 Days Pediatric Project

Every year, PANDA focuses on the unmet medical needs of Arizona children by funding medical research for a specific project. This year, our project supports two areas: translational research into pediatric nutrition, and research to advance technology in congenital hear disease which impacts nearly one in 100 babies. By funding translational research, we move basic science discoveries quickly and efficiently into practice.
