GIVING TIME BACK TO KIDS

A women-led working board that’s 100% volunteer.

*

72 active members. 200+ board members. One dream.

PANDA is proud to be a working board of passionate women with a big dream; to improve the overall health and quality of life of kids all over the world. Our impressive community of volunteers has brought women of different backgrounds and skill sets together to push this shared vision forward for 25 years and counting. And with a minimum commitment of five years, each and every board member pours their heart, soul, time, and energy into making this dream a reality.
