A fire at the Hole In The Wall Gang Camp in Ashford destroyed four buildings on the property Friday.
Founded by former actor Paul Newman, of Westport, the camp is a gateway for sick children and their siblings to have a week of pure fun.
Those who have donated to the camp in the past say they plan to help rebuild, such raising money from the annual Push Against Cancer event.
The fundraiser is usually held in June, but because of the fire, the virtual event has been pushed up to help the camp as soon as possible.
