For the past 15 years, Argie has helped lead Panda Express's annual Children's Miracle Network fundraising campaign in support of Valley Children's. Through the dedication of associates, customers and community members, Panda Express has made a lasting impact on the patients and families we serve, contributing more than $6.1 million to support children's healthcare across the region.



Reflecting on the partnership, Argie shares, “Our values and spirit of giving truly align with Valley Children’s Hospital. We believe it’s deeply important to give back to our community, especially to young people, because they are our future.” After years of inspiring others to get involved, she adds, “Each contribution helps provide care, hope and support to Valley Children’s patients and families when they need it most.” We are grateful for Argie's leadership and for the continued generosity of the entire Panda Express family.

We are incredibly grateful to Cory for his dedication and generosity in organizing the Thalassemia Charity Car Show in support of our Hematology Department. Through the event, Cory raised more than $3,400 to help advance care for patients and families facing blood disorders.


As a longtime Valley Children’s patient, Cory understands firsthand the impact specialized care can have on a child’s life. Motivated by his own journey and a desire to give back, he transformed his passion for cars into a meaningful community fundraiser that brought people together for an important cause.



Cory’s commitment to supporting future patients is an inspiring example of how personal experiences can create lasting change. We are deeply thankful for his advocacy, generosity and dedication to helping ensure children continue to receive the exceptional care they need.

A special thank you to the incredible Pickleball for a Cause committee for hosting their second annual tournament in support of our tiniest patients. Thanks to the dedication of this outstanding group of community volunteers, the event raised an impressive $9,000 to help provide specialized care for our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).



The tournament brought together players, sponsors and supporters united by a shared commitment to helping children and families throughout the region. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone involved for making this event such a success and for helping ensure that babies in our NICU receive the exceptional care they need.

On June 18, Ashley Singleton, a Market Fulfillment Lead with Walmart, brought together associates from market 581 for the 3rd Annual Golf for Miracles tournament at Dinuba Golf Course. As part of Walmart’s ongoing support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, nine local Walmart stores participated in the event, raising more than $5,500 to benefit the children and families served by Valley Children’s Hospital.

 

The tournament’s success is a testament to Ashley’s dedication and leadership, as well as the generosity of every participant who helped make the day possible. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to making a difference and for their continued support of the life-changing care provided at Valley Children’s.
