Giving is Penn's Way Campaign
"Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men – above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends."—Albert Einstein
Dear Colleagues,
Penn’s Way, our workplace charitable giving campaign at Penn, is a way for us to be there for the sake of others within our Penn community, and together we can make a difference for those in need.
We are pleased to say that Penn’s Way is recognized as one of the most generous workplace giving campaigns in the region. Our campaign theme, Giving is Penn's Way, honors the culture of generosity and thoughtfulness that embodies Penn.
Collectively, our donations continue to make a broad and immediate impact on our community and the vulnerable populations we serve. With a renewed energy from the success of last year, we are excited to work towards reaching this year's goal of $1.65 million and achieve an even greater goal of impacting more lives.
The Penn's Way Campaign runs from October 1 through November 16. It encompasses three organizations, each of which utilizes their expertise to confront the challenges facing our community today – Penn Medicine, Philadelphia Alliance for Change, and the United Way.
Please review our re-designed website to learn more about the campaign. You can also enter your pledge on this site as a secure, convenient, sustainable and time-saving way to support your community.
Thank you for supporting Penn’s Way!
