Did Milton Hershey leave money to the ophrans?

Yes, Milton Hershey and his wife, Catherine, established the Milton Hershey School in 1909, which was designed to provide education and care for orphaned and disadvantaged boys. They left a significant portion of their fortune to support the school, ensuring that it could continue to serve underprivileged children long after their deaths. The Hershey Trust Company, which manages the school’s endowment, continues to provide funding for its operations.
