Dear Penn Community,

Thank you for your support of the Annual Penn Volunteers in Public Service (Penn VIPS) Change Drive. We received a total of $2,230.98 for Alex’s Lemonade Stand (see photo below). We appreciate your continuous support as we work to support others.

Thank you for your spirit of volunteerism. Many benefit from your willingness to share. We receive many expressions of gratitude from community members and agencies we have partnered with.

The University community continues to work towards being good neighbors in our shared community. We thank you for your overwhelming support and for your generosity. Contact Isabel Mapp at sammapp@upenn.edu for additional information.
