Team Hole in the Wall is an athletic fundraising initiative managed by the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. Amateur athletes join up to raise a specified amount of funds and receive entrance to a marathon, bike ride or other athletic event in support of seriously ill children served by The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp or one of its associated camps around the world. Established in 2005, Team Hole in the Wall offers entrance into more than two dozen marathons and cycling events, including the New York City Marathon, Boston Marathon and AngelRide cycling event in Connecticut. Team Hole in the Wall receives its mandate to raise funds for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp and its associated camps through the vision of Paul Newman, who conceived the first camp as a place where seriously ill youngsters could attend free of charge. More than 2,600 athletes have participated in a Team Hole in the Wall event, with approximately 65% taking part in their first marathon.
