Penn’s Way 2012: Where Passion Meets Action

Penn's-Way-croppedWeek Five Updates
Whether you are passionate about ending hunger in your community, providing education opportunities for children, helping the sick and the elderly or any of a number of worthy causes, you can turn your passion into action by participating in Penn’s Way 2012, our workplace charitable giving campaign. This initiative affords you the opportunity to make a difference in the communities in which we live and work.

This year, the Penn’s Way 2012 campaign has challenged the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Medicine to donate $1.35 million to the charities of their choice. The campaign is currently in its fifth week and together with the University we have raised just over $1,022,000! So far we’ve reached 75% of our total goal. We’re doing great but we still have some work to do to help those in need. The Penn’s Way 2012 campaign will continue through Friday, November 18th. Please visit www.upenn.edu/pennsway or contact your Penn’s Way 2012 entity Coordinator or Captain for more information about the campaign or to make a tax-deductible gift.
