Penn’s Way, the University and Penn Medicine’s workplace charitable giving campaign, started earlier this month and is running through Friday, Nov. 20. Faculty and staff from Penn and Penn Medicine can donate to local charitable organizations to build stronger and safer neighborhoods, and improve the quality of life for people in the region.
Last year, unprecedented participation levels enabled the campaign to exceed the $1.5 million goal; this year’s campaign has a goal of $1.55 million.
Visit the Penn’s Way website to enter a pledge online. There, donors can also learn about the Penn’s Way partner organizations—the Center for Responsible Funding, Penn Medicine, and United Way.
