An Evening with Olivia

Dr. Thomas J. Nasca 101 Fund
At the November 2007 JMC Alumni Association meeting, a motion was made by Edward Jaeger, MD, OPH'64, to rename the 101 Fund the Dr. Thomas J. Nasca 101 Fund, which received full approval by the executive committee. The fund grew out of an altruistic act by Nasca to help a student who faced an extreme circumstance of financial need. Contributions will be allocated to a restricted fund as determined by the dean's office and can be sent to: The 101 Fund, The Jefferson Foundation, 925 Chestnut St., Suite 110, Philadelphia, PA 19107. You can also contact The Jefferson Foundation by phone at 1-877-JEFF-GIFT or visit us online. |
