Cocoa Bean Game August 22, 2025

We will be selling tickets Friday Night August 22nd at the Hershey High School for the Annual Cocoa Bean Game.

From the Hershey Community Archives: Cocoa Bean Football Game – Hershey Community Archives (hersheyarchives.org)
The Cocoa Bean Game began in 1943 as a community service project of the Rotary Club of Hershey and the Hershey Civic Club. The local football teams of Hershey High School and the Hershey Industrial School [now known as the Milton Hershey School] wanted to play each other. Ralph Hoar, then head of athletics for the Hershey Industrial School, is generally credited with the original idea for the game.
