We will celebrate on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Our beloved tradition puts a spotlight on Jefferson’s best and brightest clinicians providing uncompromising care and the philanthropic community who makes our work possible. Proceeds from the event fuel our mission to improve lives.
