MLK Day
Drexel University College of Medicine faculty, staff and students participate in a number of service events throughout the city for MLK Day of Service. Some students visit neighborhood schools where they paint classrooms. Some students participate in the MLK Dare Coalition for Power, Resistance and Empowerment Walk in Center City, distributing information helping organize marchers and then marching themselves. Philadelphia prominently hosts the MLK Day of Service each year, and the College of Medicine participates each year in this and other civic engagements.

The Pediatric AIDS Benefit raises money for the Dorothy Mann Center for Pediatric and Adolescent HIV at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children throughout the year with several smaller events, culminating in a large concert in February of each year. Within the past 20 years, we have raised an estimated $500,000 to provide services, including emergency financial support, child-life specialists, dieticians, etc., to children affected by this devastating disease.
