The mission of the Alive & Free is to keep young people alive and free, unharmed by violence and free from incarceration. To provide youth with opportunities and support to build positive lives and move into contributing roles in society. The club's core value is "The more you know, the more you owe." Since 1987, the founders developed and refined the "Alive & Free Prescription" which frames violence as a a disease and a public health approach to eliminating it.

Founded in 1988 by Paul Newman, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is a community dedicated to providing “a different kind of healing” to children and their families coping with cancer, sickle cell anemia, and other serious illnesses. Through summer sessions and family weekends at the Camp in Ashford, Connecticut and year-round outreach to hospitals and clinics across the Northeast, the Camp serves more than 20,000 children and family members annually. All services are provided free of charge.
