Nov. 22, 2024 - Jefferson is Proud to Sponsor the 6abc Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day Parade
The parade marks the beginning of the holiday season, bringing us together in joy and gratitude. This year, as we prepare for Thanksgiving, we’re also reflecting on our commitment to addressing food insecurity—an issue that affects far too many families in Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey—impacting their overall health and well-being.
Through our Bicentennial Service Initiative, we’ve mobilized the entire Jefferson community—physicians, students, employees, and alumni—to make a meaningful difference. We can’t wait to celebrate with you at the parade. Let the countdown begin!
