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.
“We are very happy to continue our work with The Hole In The Wall Gang with our annual charitable golf tournament,” said Roger Hart, Vice President of Merchandising for KMC Music. “The event is an amazing opportunity to bring high-profile companies from our industry together to help children attend this wonderful camp in Connecticut.”
The Everett Porter Unintentional was founded in 1987 by Bill Kaman, President of Kaman Music. Kaman was approached by Ovation Guitars Purchasing Manager Everett Porter, who mentioned in passing that a golf tournament should be organized to bring together music industry vendors, dealers and Kaman Music employees. To Porter’s surprise, Bill Kaman agreed and immediately put plans in place for the tournament. Due to the serendipitous creation of the tournament, it was henceforth known at the Everett Porter Unintentional
