Hershey's Gives Back with Games









Throughout it's long history, The Hershey Company has been known for dedication to programs that support youth development. This year, Hershey's is partnering with Olympic track star Carl Lewis to celebrate the 35th annual Hershey's Track & Field Games, the largest youth activity program of its kind in North America.

Children ages 9-14 are encouraged to live a balanced, active lifestyle by participating in track and field events across the country. 'We founded the program over 30 years ago out of a conviction that there's no treat more rewarding than fitness, self-esteem and hard-work,' Hershey's says. According to their website, the games have produced many Olympic medalists and competeing athletes.

Kids can compete in local, district and state competitions.  Those who do will have a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to compete in the North American Final in Hershey, Pennsylvania this summer, according to the company.
