Paul Newman had many friends who enjoyed his salad dressing recipe, and he made it for holiday gifts.

He was told he should sell it, which he decided to do. However, he wanted the profits to go to charity. The product sold very well, and he was able to establish The Hole in the Wall Gang, a camp for children with grave illnesses, located in northeastern Connecticut.

Over time, more and more products were added to the "Newman's Own" line of foods, such as popcorn, marinara sauce, lemonade, and more. His daughter Nell became president of the company, and all profits continue to go to her father's original camp for children.
