When Maggie turned one, she went to the San Diego Zoo and saw the Giant Pandas.  She latched onto a big stuffed panda in the gift shop and wouldn’t let go.

It came home with her and she has slept with that Panda every night since.

Her Panda collection has grown over the years and when she’s asked what she’d like to do when she grows up, her answer is, “I want to live in China and work at a Panda reserve.”

We always think a little part of Panda was planted in her heart that day at the zoo.

Because of Maggie’s love for the Pandas, she was able to raise $160 at her last birthday party. Thank you for helping the save the Giant Pandas!
