#29: The Newman’s Own Legacy

Newman’s legacy wasn’t just about movies but about giving back. Even after his death, his Newman’s Own brand continues to donate 100% of its profits to charity. It has raised over $570 million for children’s hospitals, education, and food programs.

His philosophy was simple: “Let’s give it all away.” The company has expanded into organic products, pet food, and coffee, staying true to Newman’s mission. More than a brand, it’s a living tribute to his generosity. Even now, every bottle of dressing, every jar of pasta sauce, carries his spirit of giving.
