When Hershey residents Jane and Joseph Cottonaro began discussing ways to give back in retirement, they kept returning to their roots. Both are Pennsylvania natives. They love the commonwealth where they grew up and raised their family. And they wanted whatever they did to impact as many Pennsylvanians as possible. Half of their gift will be designated to create the Joseph and Jane Cottonaro Dean’s Excellence Fund at Penn State Dickinson Law, where Joseph earned his juris doctorate in 1974. The other half will be designated to support the Penn State Health Congenital Heart Disease Center. https://ow.ly/5Oft50Uses7
