June 15, 2011

The Panda Restaurant Group, parent company of Panda Express, Panda Inn and Hibachi-San contributed more than $450,000 to the American Red Cross in support of Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief. Panda's charitable giving arm, the Panda Charitable Foundation, matched a $228,966 donation made by Panda Express customers through an in-store Japan relief campaign.

"We would like to thank the leaders of the Panda Restaurant Group, its associates and its generous guests for raising this significant gift to help those still suffering in Japan," said Paul Schulz, American Red Cross Los Angeles Region CEO. "It is clear that Panda is committed to helping the people of Japan so devastated by the recent disasters there."

Donations have enabled the American Red Cross to meet the continuing emergency and longer-term recovery needs of more than 90,000 families living in evacuation centers and temporary housing.
