THE JEFFERSON 2000 FUND Ahead of Schedule
Jefferson 2000 Fund Reaches $108 Million
 
The Jefferson 2000 Fund campaign, announced three years ago, has reached a
total of $108 million toward a goal of $200 million. The drive is now almost
a year ahead of its original schedule.
 
"This exciting gain for the University shows what can be accomplished when
we pull together," said Jack Farber, chairman of Jefferson's Board of
Trustees.
 
"Because of the support and confidence shown by our donors - alumni,
faculty, staff, corporations, foundations and other friends - we can
carry on our mission: to train health professionals, expand our knowledge
through research and deliver the excellent patient care for which Jefferson
is known."

As the face of American health care changes, Jefferson is counting on the
success of this drive to help us maintain our leadership. Among the goals
of the 2000 Fund are: to support existing programs; establish new
educational initiatives; strengthen our faculty; increase financial aid to
students; expand research efforts; renovate older facilities; provide an
even higher level of patient care, and establish new ties, as well as
develop our present affiliations, with other leading health centers.
