Basket Sponsors
Thanks to donations and contributions from individuals like you, Hershey’s Chocolate Avenue iconic Kiss street lights are adorned with magnificent flowering hanging baskets.
From May to October, both residents and visitors of Hershey enjoy a touch of color and beauty from over 100 hanging baskets along Hershey’s most famous corridor.
Your $200 donation will sponsor a basket and give you an opportunity to commemorate a friend, family member or loved one through in-honor and in-memory recognition. You will receive a note letting you know where your basket is located.
By sponsoring a basket, you help to offset the cost of continuing the tradition of hanging flowering baskets along Chocolate Avenue. We hope you are able to join others and support our mission to beautify Hershey.
