Team Simon Konover Raises Over $115,000 for HITWGC

The Simon Konover Company (TSKC) and its Team Simon Konover raised over $115,000 in the Camp Challenge Ride campaign to benefit The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp located in Ashford, Connecticut.

The Camp Challenge Ride is an annual charity cycling event held each fall. On November 7, 2012, The Simon Konover Company and Team Simon Konover presented its fundraising results at a celebratory luncheon held at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.

"With the generous support of our strategic partners, colleagues, associates, and friends, the 2012 campaign was our most successful ever,” said James Wakim, President and Chief Operating Officer of The Simon Konover Company. “We are grateful that so many organizations and individuals share our passion for the exceptional work at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.”

Team Simon Konover is comprised of company employees and business associates who support and participate in the Camp Challenge Ride. Over 200 organizations and individuals donated to the 2012 fundraising campaign. Team Simon Konover Strategic Partners, donating $5,000, include Ameriscape Landscape Contractors, CohnReznick, KBE Building Corporation, Paul B. Bailey Architect, LLC, Rogin Nassau, LLC, Shipman & Goodwin LLP, Smith Brothers, and Waterford Group, LLC.

The Simon Konover Company’s involvement with The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp began in 1987 when Simon Konover donated the construction management services as he constructed the original Camp facilities. Since that time, The Simon Konover Company, as well as the Konover and Coppa families, have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the Camp as an active sponsor of the Camp’s Annual Fandango Benefit Gala, the Space & Aviation Day, as well as the Camp Challenge Ride. In addition, Jane Konover Coppa is a member of the Camp’s Board of Advisors.
