MHSAA Cancer Care
MHSAA is a 501c3 recognized by the IRS.
All donations are tax deductible in accordance with IRS regulations.
MHSAA can help eliminate some of the stress for our brothers and sisters with cancer. We raise funds to benefit fellow alumni fighting cancer. Funds may be used for groceries, utilities, mortgage payments, rent, a vehicle, medications, etc. The bottom line is, cancer overwhelms, and stress is a cancer patients’ worst enemy. We understand how difficult a battle it is.

Any graduate of Milton Hershey School, their spouse or their minor child living at home, who has been diagnosed with cancer or a cancer related illness and demonstrates a financial need, is eligible for Cancer Care Funds.
The maximum amount a recipient may receive in any one year is $2000, 00. The recipient’s year shall be based on the anniversary date of an approved application for funds.
Funds may not be issued posthumously.

The Cancer Care Committee was organized by members of the Milton Hershey School Alumni Association to financially assist alumni and their immediate families who are battling cancer and have some financial need related to that challenge. Since it’s inception, the committee has been able to donate approximately $146,000 to assist 116 alumni or their immediate families who have been struggling with this dreaded disease.
