Who is Paul Newman?
Paul Newman was born in Ohio, the US, in 1925. Known as a Hollywood star, he appeared in numerous films and TV shows. He won 42 awards, including three Academy Awards. Not only a famous movie star, but also a successful entrepreneur, he established Newmanʼs Own, a food manufacturing company, in 1982. Since Newmanʼs Own was founded, 100% profits from the sale of its products have been used for charitable purposes.
Moreover, with the hope of improving the quality of life of children with serious illnesses and their families, Paul established a camp with on-site medical care, named The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, in Connecticut, the US, in 1988. This movement gradually spread to the world, and SeriousFun Childrenʼs Network (formerly known as the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps) was established as an international network organization.
Paul did not have an opportunity to visit Solaputi Kidsʼ Camp in his life. However, his daughter, Clea Newman, who inherited his will and vision, visited Solaputi Kidsʼ Camp in 2017
