KMC Music held its 26th annual “Everett Porter Unintentional” Charity Golf Tournament on June 3rd in Avon, Connecticut. Proceeds from the event were presented to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which was founded in 1988 by Paul Newman to serve children and their families coping with cancer, sickle cell anemia and other serious illnesses. The annual tournament has raised over $100,000 for The Hole In The Wall Gang and has helped send more than 40 children to the camp.
