Hole in the Wall camps provide a recreational and therapeutic camping experience for children facing serious illnesses and life-threatening conditions. The camps were founded by Paul Newman in 1988, and served more than 15,000 children with serious illnesses last year. Each camp has its own personality, but share the same common thread: raising the child’s self-esteem. While at camp, these children discover the joys of childhood that are often missed during extended medical treatment. All children attend the camps free of charge as a result of generous contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations and other organizations.

 
     
  All donations will be made in memory of my mother, Holly J. Conklin (1954-1999). During her four-year battle with cancer, she recognized the need to getaway, play and have fun. Modern medicine would battle her illness, but love and laughter would heal her soul.  
     
         
     
 
The American Cancer Society is a nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating all types of cancer as a major health problem. This is done by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.

 
All donations will be made in memory of our friend, Rachel Leah Small (1983-2005).

“Rachel saw the true beauty in people and the world around her. She loved to laugh, she saw the world in pictures, and she loved to live. Rachel was only 21 when she died from ovarian cancer. For all of us that had the privilege of knowing her, we will forever be inspired.” ~Michael & Carin Small
