Thomas Jefferson University has received a $70 million gift from Sidney and Caroline Kimmel for The Caroline Kimmel Biomedical Research Building, which will expand Jefferson’s research capacity.
The Kimmels are philanthropists with a history of supporting medicine and the arts for many years in Sidney Kimmel’s native Philadelphia. They have given more than $200 million over the years to Thomas Jefferson University.
In 1970, Kimmel established his own clothing line, Jones New York. The Jones Group was sold for $2.2 billion in 2014.
