Newman charity to donate €400k

PAUL NEWMAN only ever wanted to be remembered as someone who cared for others, Robert Forrester, president of Newman’s Own Foundation, claimed yesterday.

To mark the $300 million (€207m) milestone of charitable giving since the late actor formed his food company in 1982, the foundation is giving more than €400,000 to 12 Irish charities.

One of the grant recipients is Barretstown, the first of Newman’s family of Hole in the Wall camps for children with life-threatening illnesses to be established in Europe.
