Jefferson Giving Day is an annual fundraising event that celebrates the impact of collective generosity across our communities. Our theme — You + Jefferson — highlights how every one of us helps strengthen our community and mission. When we give back, we become a part of something bigger than ourselves, and we all benefit.
Science remains at the forefront of cancer care. At the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Jefferson Health — one of only 57 institutions designated by the National Cancer Institute — scientific excellence is the cornerstone of our work.
From molecular breakthroughs and clinical discoveries to innovative therapies and ongoing support, we are working to uncover tomorrow’s cures while improving lives today. Patients benefit from advanced, individualized cancer care informed by the latest research, with access to state-of-the-art clinical trials and emerging treatments.
When you give to the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, you fuel path-breaking work that is leading to better detection, prevention, and treatment for cancers of all types. Your generosity brings us closer to transforming the future of cancer care, giving more patients the strength to fight today and the hope for a cure tomorrow.
The next breakthrough, the next lifesaving treatment — you make it possible. Make a gift to the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center today!
🎉3x Match Unlocked: Thank you to the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center Advisory Council and the generous donors who made a gift to the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center Innovation Fund. Your support will make a meaningful impact advancing critical research and breakthroughs!

Today is a chance to look forward. Jefferson Giving Day isn’t just about what we can do in this moment. It’s about what we can achieve together tomorrow.
Because of you, what’s on the horizon is so inspiring: stronger clinical and academic programs, life-changing research, and deeper community partnerships.
A patient facing a tough diagnosis will hear a Jefferson doctor say, “We’ve got you.”
A student will open an email that says, “This donor-funded scholarship is yours.”
A neighbor will see Jefferson in their community and know, “We’re committed to you.”
Every gift today leads to real impact tomorrow, the kind that improves lives. I encourage you to join me and support a Jefferson program or location that is meaningful to you this Giving Day.

47 days ago by Erin Ryan ConnollyEvery day, Jefferson Health patients benefit from compassionate, lifesaving care thanks to the generosity of individuals like you — patients like Judy, who suffered from severe breathing problems for years.
For Judy, taking a deep breath felt impossible and the simplest outings were exhausting. After coming to Jefferson, Judy was able to get on the transplant list and get a new lung that gave her a second chance at life.
Your gift of any amount supports the care and resources that give patients like Judy hope and healing when they need it most!
✨ 3X Match for Transplant Support: And right now, every $1 you give to the Jefferson Transplant Institute will be matched with an additional $2, up to $5,000, thanks to the generosity of Dr. James Guarrera, the Institute’s Executive Director.✨
