More than $2.8 million in donations and commitments have flowed in to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in the week since a fast-moving fire destroyed four workshops at the Ashford retreat for children with serious illnesses founded by actor Paul Newman.
“The response has been overwhelming and comforting,” Ryan Thompson, the camp’s chief communications officer, said in an email Thursday. “We are deeply grateful. Gifts are still coming in, but as of this morning, we have seen more than 2,600 donations and commitments since Friday totaling more than $800,000. Absolutely extraordinary. This includes people who have sent in gifts on our website or through various fundraisers happening on social media as well as donations that are arriving by mail” in addition to corporate donations.
