Wednesday, December 6, 2023
For many, a 21st birthday marks an exciting, unforgettable milestone—a rite of passage into a new era. And there could not be a more perfect opportunity to usher in a momentous time in Jefferson history than the 21st Annual Jefferson Gala, which will be held on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
This year’s Gala comes on the eve of Jefferson’s bicentennial, which we will commemorate in 2024. We will celebrate 200 years of tradition and transformation, discovery and design, hope and healing.
As always, the Gala will recognize Jefferson’s best and brightest—physicians providing uncompromising care and leaders defining what is possible. Proceeds from the event will fuel our mission of improving lives.
