VIDEO! Watch the Newman’s Own Foundation video tribute to Paul Newman. LALATE2 has the Newman’s Own video tribute released by the Foundation moments ago.

The Newman’s Own brand, salad dressing to popcorn, made the Foundation one of the greatest achievements of Paul Newman and one of the finest philanthropic efforts of any actor, ever.

In fact, the Newman’s Own website has two messages on its site today. One says the site is only partially up because of the massive amount of traffic currently on the site. The other message on the site is a tribute to Paul Newman. It reads as follows:

“We celebrate the inspirational life of our founder Paul L. Newman and honor his legacy with our dedication to the continued success of Newman’s Own.

“For 25 years, we at Newman’s Own have had a front row seat to watch Paul’s entrepreneurial brilliance, humor, and compassion at work helping those in need. Our company motto, “Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good,” was Paul’s vision for Newman’s Own and it is a philosophy we are proud to continue.

“Paul occasionally referred to Newman’s Own as the “joke that got out of control” and would express astonishment at its success. Despite this humorous approach, Paul was committed to the company’s business and to providing top-notch quality – he brought all-natural food products to a wide audience long before it was fashionable. And he was one of the greatest recyclers, giving back to charity all the money he earned from the sale of Newman’s Own products.

“Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good

“Newman’s Own has grown into a powerful and lasting expression of Paul Newman’s generosity. The Company has generated over $250 million in proceeds that have been donated by Paul Newman and the Newman’s Own Foundation to thousands of charities worldwide. Particularly close to his heart were the Hole in the Wall Camps, now the leading global family of camps for children with life-threatening illnesses, which Paul started over 20 years ago.

“Today, Newman’s Own is a thriving company with hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. As always, all profits are donated to charity through Newman’s Own Foundation. We will miss Paul, but we will honor his vision for the Common Good through dedicated stewardship of his company that will perpetuate his philanthropic legacy. Paul wouldn’t have it any other way.”
