Editing Paul Newman (section)

==Philanthropy==
With writer [[A. E. Hotchner]], Newman founded [[Newman's Own]], a line of food products, in 1982. The brand started with salad dressing and has expanded to include pasta sauce, lemonade, popcorn, salsa, and wine, among other things. Newman established a policy that all proceeds, after taxes, would be donated to charity. He co-wrote a [[memoir]] about the subject with Hotchner, ''Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good''. Among other awards, Newman's Own co-sponsors the [[PEN/Newman's Own First Amendment Award]], a $25,000 reward designed to recognize those who protect the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]] as it applies to the written word.<ref>{{cite web|title=PEN/Newman's Own First Amendment Award recipient announced|url=https://pen.org/press-release/pennewmans-own-first-amendment-award-recipient-announced/|website=PEN American Center|access-date=January 2, 2013|date=April 5, 2004|archive-date=January 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180123131631/https://pen.org/press-release/pennewmans-own-first-amendment-award-recipient-announced/|url-status=live}}</ref>

One beneficiary of his philanthropy is the [[Hole in the Wall Gang Camp]], a residential summer camp for seriously ill children located in [[Ashford, Connecticut]], which Newman co-founded in 1988. It is named after the gang in his film ''[[Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid]]'' (1969), and the real-life, historic [[Hole-in-the-Wall]] outlaw hangout in the mountains of northern [[Wyoming]]. Newman's college fraternity, [[Phi Kappa Tau]], adopted his Connecticut Hole in the Wall camp as their "national philanthropy" in 1995. The original camp has expanded to become several Hole in the Wall Camps in the U.S., Ireland, France, and Israel.<ref name="faq"/> In 1988, Newman founded the [[SeriousFun Children's Network]], a global family of [[summer camps]] and programs for children with serious illnesses.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://seriousfun.org/about/impact/|title=Serious Results from SeriousFun|publisher=SeriousFun Network|access-date=April 8, 2021|archive-date=April 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210417203605/https://seriousfun.org/about/impact/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2006, Newman also co-founded [[Safe Water Network]] with [[John C. Whitehead|John Whitehead]], former chairman of Goldman Sachs, and Josh Weston, former chairman of ADP, to improve access to safe water to underserved communities around the world.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kaye|first1=Leon|title=How Safe Water Network's Partnership With Companies Benefits the World's Poor|url=http://www.triplepundit.com/2012/10/safe-water-networks-partnership-companies-benefits-worlds-poor|website=triplepundit.com|publisher=Triple Pundit|access-date=September 2, 2014|archive-date=October 26, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141026032621/http://www.triplepundit.com/2012/10/safe-water-networks-partnership-companies-benefits-worlds-poor/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1983, Newman became a major donor for [[The Mirror Theater Ltd]], alongside [[Dustin Hoffman]] and [[Al Pacino]], matching a grant from [[Laurance Rockefeller]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/12/07/arts/broadway.html|title=Broadway|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=December 7, 1984|last=Nemy|first=Enid|author-link=Enid Nemy|access-date=September 8, 2017|archive-date=December 15, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171215111352/http://www.nytimes.com/1984/12/07/arts/broadway.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Newman was inspired to invest by his connection with [[Lee Strasberg]], as Lee's then daughter-in-law Sabra Jones was the founder and producing artistic director of The Mirror. Paul Newman remained a friend of the company until his death and discussed at numerous times possible productions in which he could star with his wife, [[Joanne Woodward]]. In June 1999, Newman donated $250,000 to [[Catholic Relief Services]] to aid refugees in [[Kosovo]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Paul Newman Philanthropy|url=http://www.facesofphilanthropy.com/paul-newman/|date=November 14, 2011|access-date=November 14, 2011|archive-date=July 25, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130725084603/http://www.facesofphilanthropy.com/paul-newman/|url-status=live}}</ref>

On June 1, 2007, [[Kenyon College]] announced that Newman had donated $10&nbsp;million to the school to establish a scholarship fund as part of the college's $230&nbsp;million fund-raising campaign. Newman and Woodward were honorary co-chairs of a previous campaign.<ref name="Reuters-Kenyon">{{cite news|title=Paul Newman donates $10 mln to Kenyon College|work=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN0238991920070602|date=June 2, 2007|access-date=June 4, 2007|archive-date=June 4, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070604202031/http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN0238991920070602|url-status=live}}</ref>

Upon Newman's death, the Italian newspaper (a "semi-official" paper of the [[Holy See]]) ''[[L'Osservatore Romano]]'' published a notice lauding Newman's philanthropy. It also commented that "Newman was a generous heart, an actor of a dignity and style rare in Hollywood quarters."<ref>{{Cite news|work=[[Catholic News Service]]|url=http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0804957.htm|archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20130307090949/http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0804957.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 7, 2013|title=Catholic film critics laud actor Paul Newman's career, generosity|first=Mark|last=Pattison|date=September 30, 2008|access-date=April 11, 2010}}</ref>
