Paul Newman's SERIOUS Philanthropy

Paul Newman's legacy on earth will be experienced for generations to come. Newman died in September 2008, but not before he established himself as one of the greatest philanthropists in history.
       When Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward launched the Newman's Own salad dressing line they committed to give ALL the profits away from the company - forever! According to Newman's Foundation they have given away more than $300 million to a wide variety of causes.
       We need so many more people and foundations like Newman's Own Foundation. We need people who are more serious about their philanthropy than they are about their business or personal stability.
       Paul Newman has been dead for more than 2 years. His company continues to bless hundreds of thousands of people every year.
       Here's Paul Newman in his own words:

  • "Our work begins with the strong belief that giving back is the greatest opportunity and responsibility for making ours a better world."
  • “I’d like to be remembered as a guy who tried — tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being.”

  • “We’re very effective recyclers; we take the money and give it back.”
