Newman’s Own Support Our Troops
I pretty much love Newman’s Own Salsa, so I was quite pleased when I saw this news release.
Eleven volunteer organizations that reach out to help improve the quality of life of military families took home between $2,500 and $10,000 today to help them continue their work in military communities.
The money was awarded during the sixth annual Newman’s Own Awards ceremony in the Pentagon’s Hall of Heroes.
“The Newman’s Own Award was developed to increase awareness of the many private organizations throughout the Department of Defense, and their volunteers, who distinguish themselves through service in their local military communities,” Coker noted.
The award is sponsored by Newman’s Own, Inc., the Fisher House Foundation and the Military Times Media Group.
The “Newman” in Newman’s Own is actor Paul Newman, who uses the company to sell pasta sauces, salad dressings and other products to support worthwhile causes.
