Listen Later

The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp was founded in 1988 by legendary actor and philanthropist, Paul Newman. The camp is a haven for children with serious illnesses and their families, fostering joy, hope and friendship through both summer camp and year-round programming.

Jimmy Canton, Ana Villafañe, and Luke Wilson join Google to talk about the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp and its mission. Jimmy is its CEO, and has been with the organization since its founding. Rising from counselor to CEO, he grew the camp from serving 288 children in its first summer to over 20,000 children and family members annually.

Ana Villafañe is a board member for the camp and a Broadway actress. She recently starred opposite Holland Taylor in the world premiere of N/A at Lincoln Center, and plays the title character in the upcoming feature film, Castro’s Daughter.

Luke Wilson is an advocate for the camp and an actor, writer and director. He’s collaborated with Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson on films like Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, and is known for iconic comedies like Legally Blonde and Old School. Recently, he’s starred in films like 12 Mighty Orphans, You Gotta Believe, Kevin Costner’s Horizon, and the Netflix series No Good Deed.
