P.F. Chang's(R) partners with Starlight Children's Foundation to deliver happiness and comfort to children through inaugural Spirit of the Zodiac campaign. Sep 02, 2026, 09:01 ET Year of the Fire Horse: Spirit of Strength aims to raise $500,000 through a campaign centered on Bao, a limited-edition horse plushie, alongside an original children's book SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - P.F. Chang's(R) today announced the launch of Spirit of the Zodiac, a new annual giving initiative inspired by the Chinese zodiac and designed to bring each year's zodiac symbol to life through a unique charitable campaign. The inaugural campaign, Year of the Fire Horse: Spirit of Strength, will benefit Starlight Children's Foundation and support children and families during hospital stays. Serving more than 800 children's hospitals nationwide, Starlight Children's Foundation provides programs including toy deliveries, hospital gowns, gaming stations, and other experiences designed to bring comfort, connection, and moments of happiness to children during medical care. Inspired by the horse's strength, courage and resilience, the month-long Spirit of Strength campaign centers on Bao, P.F. Chang's limited-edition horse plushie, whose story will also be brought to life through an original children's book by author Jenny Liao and illustrator Adriane Tsai, expected to publish later this month. The digital story will follow Bao through themes of courage, kindness, comfort and hope, creating another way for children and families to connect with the campaign beyond the restaurant. From September 2 through September 30, Bao will be available for purchase for $10 through dine-in transactions at participating restaurants, while supplies last. For each Bao plushie purchased during the campaign, P.F. Chang's will donate an identical Bao plushie to Starlight Children's Foundation for distribution to children through its hospital network, up to a maximum of 20,000 donated plushies. Guests who purchase Bao or make an in-restaurant donation of $10 or more to Starlight at participating P.F. Chang's restaurants will receive an offer for a complimentary appetizer with the purchase of an entrée on a future dine-in visit, valid through October 31, 2026. Guests can also support Starlight by rounding up their checks or making a direct donation in restaurant. Together, these efforts aim to raise $500,000 in support of Starlight's work with children and families. "At P.F. Chang's, we believe in business with a purpose and creating meaningful moments that extend beyond the restaurant," said Jim Mazany, Chief Executive Officer of P.F. Chang's. "Spirit of the Zodiac gives us a new way to bring that commitment to life each year, beginning with the Year of the Fire Horse and our inaugural Spirit of Strength campaign. A symbol of strength and a gift of comfort, Bao is at the heart of this year's effort, and we're proud to partner with Starlight Children's Foundation to support children and families across the country." Guest donations made throughout the campaign will directly support Starlight Children's Foundation and its work to help children feel more comfortable, engaged and connected during medical care. One hundred percent of guest round-up donations will benefit Starlight, helping fund resources and hospital-based experiences designed to help children and families throughout their medical journeys. "We're grateful to partner with P.F. Chang's to support hospitalized kids and their families," said Adam Garone, CEO, Starlight Children's Foundation. "For kids facing serious illness, something as simple as a plush toy can provide a positive distraction, ease stress and anxiety and bring a sense of comfort to an unfamiliar experience. Together with P.F. Chang's, its guests and a little horse on a big mission, we're helping create meaningful moments of happiness for kids while bringing Starlight programs to hospitals across the country." The partnership will continue beyond the September campaign, with P.F. Chang's and Starlight coming together in early October for in-hospital catering and plush deliveries. These activations will bring P.F. Chang's and Starlight teams directly into hospitals, extending the partnership beyond the restaurant while bringing the campaign's spirit of giving to the communities Starlight serves. Through these deliveries, P.F. Chang's will continue its commitment to creating moments of happiness and connection during hospital stays. P.F. Chang's invites guests to participate in the inaugural Spirit of the Zodiac campaign by visiting participating restaurants to purchase Bao and support Starlight.

Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour 2026 comes to Palace Theatre on December 14. Koz' 29th Christmas Tour Includes Guitarist Jonathan Butler and Special Guests Haley Reinhart, Dylan Chambers & Erin Stevenson CAPA welcomes Grammy-nominated saxophonist extraordinaire Dave Koz and the Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tour 2026 to Columbus for a festive, high-energy show in the Palace Theatre (34 W. Broad St.) on Monday, December 14, at 7 pm. Tickets, which start at $44, go on sale at 10 am Friday, July 24, and may be purchased at the CAPA Ticket Center at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.), online at www.capa.com, and by phone at (614) 469-0939. The longest-running jazz-based Christmas tour returns for its 29th - and second-to-last - year with a new line-up, lead once again by 10-time GRAMMY(R)-nominated saxophonist Dave Koz. The 2026 Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tour will feature South African guitarist/singer Jonathan Butler plus special guests vocalist Haley Reinhart, singer/songwriter/guitarist Dylan Chambers, and vocalist Erin Stevenson. With its upbeat and moving combination of Christmas classics, Chanukah songs and hits from each of the artists' respective catalogues, the tour has been hailed as "a holiday institution" (The Oakland Press) and "a must see! An experience that both delights and inspires" (Tampa Bay Music News) while Esquire has noted, "A man who digs Dave Koz, is a man who digs life." "Hard to believe it, but this will be our 29th Annual Christmas Tour! What started years ago as a few scattered holiday concerts has become one of the greatest joys of my life," said Dave Koz. "As this will be our second-to-last Christmas Tour (our 30th and final tour will take place in 2027), I plan to savor every single moment! This year's show will be filled with everything I love most about the holidays...music that brings back wonderful memories, a few fun surprises, lots of laughter, and moments that remind us how powerful it is simply to all be in one room, celebrating the season and looking ahead." Earlier this year, a new record was set aboard the 2026 Dave Koz & Friends at Sea cruise. This year's South America sailing raised $247,000 for Starlight Children's Foundation, marking the largest fundraising total in cruise history over 20 years. This brings the total amount fundraised across all Koz cruises to $2.5 million. Funds from the auction will support the production of 4,000 music-themed Starlight Adaptive Gowns - a brand-new version of the Starlight Gown designed specifically for older children, teens and kids with higher adaptive needs. Many of these programs will directly benefit hospitals along Koz's Christmas tour route, continuing the impact year-round, Koz, who has served as global ambassador for the Foundation for 30 years, received the Starlight Children's Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023. Koz has racked up an astoundingly impressive array of honors and achievements: 10 GRAMMY(R) nominations, 12 No. 1 albums on Billboard's Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, numerous world tours, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, performances for multiple U.S. presidents and a 2023 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award from the White House. He has released eight holiday albums, including his most recent, Christmas Ballads 25th Anniversary Collection. In over 30 years of constant touring, Koz has graced the stages of some of the most prestigious venues the world over, including Royal Albert Hall in London, Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Carnegie Hall in New York City and various symphony orchestras across the U.S. Facebook: @davekozmusic Instagram: @davidstephenkoz CAPA Presents
Disney and Pixar share Toy Story 5 magic with children's hospitals globally. June 21, 2026 Some posts may contain affiliate links which means its team could earn money if you purchase products from its site. Disney and Pixar launch Global Toy Story 5 initiative for children's hospitals. With Toy Story 5 officially hitting theaters, The Walt Disney Company is making sure the celebration extends far beyond the big screen. In true Disney fashion, they are using the massive launch of the beloved franchise to bring an incredible dose of hope, joy, and comfort to young patients and their families in children's hospitals around the globe. Disney is partnering with major charitable organizations and brands to transform the hospital experience into a world of imagination. Here is a breakdown of how the magic of Woody, Buzz, and the gang is being delivered directly to the kids who need it most. Disney's outreach spans multiple continents, combining exclusive movie screenings, interactive tech, and special gear for patients and caregivers alike. * 400+ Hospitals Reached: Immersive experiences and screenings are hitting more than 400 children's hospitals globally, including over 300 across the United States. * Starlight Partnership: Continuing a 25-year collaboration, Disney is working with the Starlight Children's Foundation to deliver custom Toy Story-themed hospital gowns featuring Woody, Jessie, and Buzz. * Disney Movie Moments: Patients and their families get a front-row seat to exclusive screenings of Toy Story 5 right inside the hospital while the film is still playing in theaters. * Global Character Tour: Across Europe, a dedicated character tour is stopping at 10 children's hospitals in 9 countries. Meanwhile, in Asia, characters are celebrating the opening of a brand-new, Pixar-themed care space at Shenzhen Children's Hospital. The magic officially kicked off back on June 9 at the film's star-studded Los Angeles premiere. Disney set up a special digital installation called the "Star Command Message Transmission." Premiere attendees and the stars of the movie wrote heartfelt messages to young patients, which are now being broadcast at select hospital activations nationwide. One of the major highlights of this initiative took place on June 16 at Children's National in Washington, D.C. The hospital was transformed into a "Toy Story Imagination Station," featuring: * A life-size interactive "Lilypad" activation (themed after the franchise's new character). * In-person meet-and-greets with Woody and Jessie. * Live drawing sessions hosted by real Pixar animators. * An exclusive early screening of the film. A celebration this big wouldn't be complete without some incredible toys. The Disney Store joined forces with major licensees like Mattel and LeapFrog to provide massive product donations at these hospital events. Kids were able to pick out their very own Woody, Buzz, and Jessie action figures, Disney Store plushies, and LeapFrog toy tablets inspired by Lilypad. Disney didn't forget about the hardworking healthcare heroes, either! Hospital caregivers at these events received specially designed, Toy Story 5-themed footwear from the medical footwear brand Clove to keep them comfortable on their shifts. "At Disney, we have so many incredible stories and characters that our guests around the world have a deep emotional connection to," said Lisa Haines, Senior Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at The Walt Disney Company. "Moments like the release of Toy Story 5 offer an opportunity to turn that connection into hope and joy for kids and their families when they need it most." It is clear that over 30 years after the original movie captured its hearts, the Toy Story franchise is still doing what it does best: teaching Chip and Co the true meaning of friendship and being there for one another.
