The camp opens its gates each summer to hundreds of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Thousands of other children with serious illnesses enjoy the Camp through dozens of other programs.
ILA and USMX have raised of $5 million for the Camp since the industry adopted it as its major charity in 1992.
“The ILA and USMX want to make sure that we continue to help fund the great work of the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp,” said ILA President Harold J. Daggett and USMX Chairman and CEO, David F. Adam. “Out of precaution and safety, we felt it best to move this year’s tournament to July. Hopefully, by then, all our lives will have returned to some normalcy.”
