President’s Club

About the President’s Club

Established in 1972 by Dr. Peter Herbut, president of Thomas Jefferson University, the President's Club recognizes philanthropic leaders who understand the difference Jefferson makes: lives made whole again through healing; careers and professions beyond the ordinary; discoveries that make all the difference in the world.

By giving $2,500 or more each year, members of the President's Club fuel Jefferson's mission to improve lives. President's Club gifts add up to millions of dollars in support of important Jefferson priorities across our healthcare system, research centers, and University.

As a President's Club donor, your generosity supports patients, scholars, student-athletes, physicians, faculty, and researchers - all of whom make up the Jefferson community of which you are an integral part. Your support ensures continued excellence in patient care, scientific research, and medical education for which Jefferson has been known for more than 200 years.
