Raymond G. Perelman Receives the Penn Medal for Distinguished Achievement

University of Pennsylvania President Amy Gutmann presented prominent Philadelphia philanthropist Raymond G. Perelman with the University of Pennsylvania Medal for Distinguished Achievement, one of the University's highest honors, at an Oct. 26 reception celebrating the naming of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

In May, Perelman and his late wife, Ruth Perelman, donated $225 million to Penn --- the largest single gift in the University's history -- to benefit its School of Medicine. The gift represents the largest single gift to name a school of medicine in the United States.

"Raymond Perelman and his beloved late wife, Ruth, embody the principle that with personal success comes the responsibility to help others improve their lives," Gutmann said. "Through their unceasing generosity and visionary philanthropy, they have ensured that many great Philadelphia institutions will continue to grow and prosper."
