"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead
Dear Colleagues,
Across the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Medicine, we’re committed to supporting the communities where we live and work. We also know our faculty and staff are driven by a passion for making a difference. That is why we are updating this year’s Penn’s Way campaign, our annual workplace charitable giving drive.
Select any of the hundreds of local charities listed on the Penn’s Way website to make a donation. Penn and Penn Medicine will match your contribution by 100 percent. This means you double your donation to the causes you value most. Our theme, “Going the Distance for Our Community,” reflects our ambitions to serve, no matter where that help is needed.
The Penn's Way Campaign runs from Monday, October 2, through Friday, November 24, and we are grateful to Campaign Co-Chairs Maureen Rush and Patricia Sullivan, as well as our many coordinators, department captains, and other staff volunteers. Please join us in supporting our communities by making your tax-deductible gift now. Remember that by using the Penn's Way website to enter your pledge online, you will be supporting your chosen organizations in a secure, quick, and convenient way.
Historically, Penn’s Way has been one of the region’s most generous workplace-giving campaigns, and we look forward to continuing that momentum. Watch this video to hear why your colleagues give. Then, share why you give by posting your personal story to social media using #OurWayPennsWay.
Penn’s Way is a powerful example of kindness in our community. Your collective support helps us invest in neighborhoods—near and far—to extend our organization’s impact and reach.
Sincerely,
M. Elizabeth Magill
President
