Newman's
Own is a food company founded by actor Paul Newman and author A.E. Hotchner in
1982. The company gives 100% of the after-tax profits from the sale of its
products to Newman's Own Foundation (a private non-profit foundation) which in
turn, gives the money to various educational and charitable organizations.
ccording to the Newman's Own Foundation website, over $430 million (USD) has
been generated for charity since 1982. The company co-sponsored the
PEN/Newman's Own First Amendment Award, which was presented annually to a
United States resident who had fought courageously, despite adversity, to safeguard
the First Amendment right to freedom of expression as it applied to the written
word.

ReplyDeleteSuch an idea is really nice and beautiful one. Helping is something very good. Many organizations around the world provide like these helps. They get money just to give to human need. This need can be education or medical help. Many communities and many people get advantages from these organizations. Education help will let the next generation think in the same way of such organizations to build.
