> We are delighted to inform you that Raymond and Ruth Perelman have contributed $225 million to Penn’s School of Medicine, the largest single gift ever given to the University and the largest single gift to name a medical school in United States history.
>
> In recognition of this unique and wonderfully generous gift, the school will be renamed the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. This gift will establish a permanent endowment, which will enable Penn to provide significantly more financial aid to medical school students, to recruit more of the world’s most talented physicians and scientists, and to support path-breaking research that will lead to advances in medicine and medical care.
>
> This is a transformational time for the School of Medicine and for the University. We are deeply grateful to Raymond and Ruth Perelman for helping us make history, and we are emboldened by the trust that they have shown in the future of medicine at Penn. We will redouble our efforts to make Penn a global model of a comprehensive academic medical center, which integrates the most innovative research, education, and patient care for the betterment of humankind.

> The Perelmans’ momentous gift brings Penn’s Making History capital campaign total to $3.31 billion – 94.6 percent of our $3.5 billion goal – with more than 19 months to go!

> We are overjoyed to be sharing such wonderful news with you. The news will become public on Wednesday morning.
