Event Fundraising
No idea is too small to make a big difference at Camp. From attending one of our annual Camp-hosted benefit events to running a marathon for Hole in the Wall or becoming a lemonade stand entrepreneur, there are a variety of opportunities to champion Camp’s growing programs.
Camp-hosted Benefit Events
Make a difference — and maybe a new friend — at one of our annual Camp-hosted benefit events. Our amazing community rallies each year for an evening of family-fun in Boston and New York City, joins in the Challenge for a scenic run or walk at our Connecticut Location, or settles in for a night of auction fun and seeing celebrity friends and campers shine on Hole in the Wall’s Theatre stage.
Athletic Events
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp offers bibs for select marathons each year, providing a unique opportunity to champion both fitness and philanthropy! Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or back of the pack run/walker, when you run for Camp, you help provide hope, joy and the healing power of Hole in the Wall to thousands of children with serious illnesses and their family members. Benefits include guaranteed race entry, Hole in the Wall merch, fundraising page, training plans, coaching and more.
Create an Event
Our next great community event begins with your imagination. Event organizers and fundraisers are planning game nights, talent shows and golf outings; hosting lemonade stands; and coordinating fun runs, concerts and beyond – all to champion Camp. The possibilities are endless to do what you love while doing good.
