Paul Newman's company, Newman's Own, takes the profit from the sale of their products to charity. All of the after tax money is given to Newman's Own Foundation which around the globe and in the U.S. has raised over $350 Million and has been given to thousands of charities since 1982. Newman's Own Foundation supports the National Military Family Association, National Alliance for Hispanic Health, Green Chimney's, SeriousFun Children's Network and much more. Newman's Own is all about supporting people with great ideas that can transform lives and do great things. The first time I had heard of Newman's Own doing charity was when it was publicisized on the television show "The Biggest Looser". They had a competion (in 2012) where the seven standing contestants had to load 30,000 pounds of Newman's Own product into trucks (Number of pounds total lost on The Biggest Looser". After the competition Newman's Own had decided to go to each one of the contestants home towns to donate 60,000 pounds of their product to each towns Feeding America Food Banks. Since, and before, then Newman's home has done wonderful things, giving money to needed charities, donating food to the hungry and so much more to give back the amazing oportunities this company has been given.
