The honor is designed to recognize “individuals and organizations that are champions of children and child-related causes, and whose humanitarian efforts are exemplary.” The chain’s philanthropic arm, Panda Cares, has doled out more than $282 to various organizations since 1999 with a focus on supporting the health and education of youth.
The Worthes are longtime champions of CHLA and are said to have been instrumental in the Living Proof campaign to support the hospital’s expansion as founding members of the Children’s Fund 100. Both also served on the hospital’s former Heart Institute campaign committee, which Jeff co-chaired. Most recently, Jeff served as Chair of the Board of Directors, a role he assumed at a pivotal time for the institution.
