Love Penn
Show Penn Some Love
Thank you to the over 1,000 undergraduate alumni who showed Penn some love by making a gift that counted toward The Penn Fund on Tuesday, October 27!
Although it might look somewhat different now, your support ensures current Quakers have the rich experience you remember and they deserve.
In these trying times, we recognize giving can be tougher than ever; yet, the need for undergraduate financial aid of all kinds is at its greatest.
