On Saturday May 11, 2024, the women of PANDA will gather with our generous supporters as we share in the meaning and magic of PANDA’s mission: helping discover treatments and cures for devastating childhood diseases. PANDA’s annual “Children Helping Children” Fashion Show and Luncheon is an opportunity to impact healthy futures for children while celebrating all that it means to be a child as we cheer our beloved PANDA models down the runway.
For 24 years, PANDA’s fundraising efforts have served as the sparks that ignite breakthroughs in pediatric medical research, resulting in brighter, happier days full of hope for children in Arizona and beyond. The tireless efforts of the researchers and physician-scientists at the Steele Children’s Research Center give children and their families a chance to get the answers they seek. These collectively caring and compassionate providers offer every Steele patient the groundbreaking research, treatments and cures they need and deserve.
We look forward to your support in May as we turn PANDA’s hopes and dreams for children’s healthy futures into the realities of tomorrow and beyond.
YOU are the reason children will continue to shine as bright as the sun!

THE DEEP FREEZE, a Pediatric Biobank Project
Every year, PANDA focuses on the unmet medical needs of Arizona children by funding medical research for a specific project. This year, our goal is to bring a first-of-its-kind pediatric biobank to The Steele Children’s Research Center. As part of the biobank development, we will be supporting research and data around certain rising autoimmune diseases including asthma, kidney disease, liver disease, IBD, celiac, CPAE and rheumatological disease.
