\u201cHershey showed up with heart today,\u201d O\u2019Neal said. \u201cI came to remind these kids that they\u2019ve got greatness in them. When you believe in yourself and put in the work, there\u2019s no limit to what you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day continued at Hersheypark, where O\u2019Neal brought a group of students to check out the newly launched Shaq-A-Licious Laff Trakk, an indoor glowing coaster inspired by The Hershey Company\u2019s Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies. The coaster features an immersive overlay and voice over from O\u2019Neal.<\/p>\n
