Newman's Own, Inc. Kicks Off "Pay What You Want" Food Truck Tour on Tax Day
WESTPORT, Conn., April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Newman's Own, Inc., the food and beverage company known for delicious, high-quality ingredients and giving 100% of its profits away, announces the first stop of its "Pay What You Want" Food Truck tour. On April 15, National Tax Day, the Food Truck will park near Bryant Park on 40th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenue, from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Customers can decide what they pay for Newman's Own pizzas, salads, cookies, coffee and even dog treats, with every dollar going to Newman's Own Foundation to help kids who face adversity.
With 1 in 5 U.S. children living in food insecure households, according to USDA Economic Research Service's 2023 report, "Household Food Security in the United States in 2023," the tour aims to raise $500,000 by asking: How much is a slice or salad worth to you when every dollar helps kids? Running through October, the "Pay What You Want" Food Truck will travel the eastern seaboard and southern U.S., rotating the menu to offer consumers several ways to help reach the donation goal.
On April 15, Newman's Own will also kick off a nationwide casting call for "Paul's Pit Crew," paying homage to Paul Newman's racing career. The brand ambassadors will travel to key locations with the Food Truck, sharing behind-the-scenes moments and impact of the initiative on social media. Interested candidates will soon be able to apply on the Newman's Own website; the company will announce the selected ambassador in May.
"We're excited to bring back the Pay What You Want Food Truck bigger and better than before, flipping the script this Tax Day," said Rob Master, Chief Marketing Officer of Newman's Own, Inc. "With an expanded tour, hundreds of stops and the search for Paul's Pit Crew, we'll reach more communities than ever and benefit more children in the process."
The Pay What You Want Food Truck first launched last year serving pizza and making over 20 stops to test the power of the pay-what-you-want model. Across all cities, customers paid more than the average retail prices, proving that people give generously when they know their purchase makes a difference. This year, the truck will visit communities surrounding cities such as New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Charlotte and Atlanta, bringing delicious meals and snacks made from high-quality, recognizable-ingredients to local, family-friendly events.
Inspired by company founder Paul Newman's original mission, the Pay What You Want Food Truck builds on Newman's Own long-standing "Give it All Away" model, where 100% of profits go to the Foundation and its mission to nourish and transform the lives of children who face adversity. Since 1982, Paul Newman and Newman's Own Foundation have donated more than $600 million to good causes—all funded by the millions of consumers who purchase Newman's Own products. Today, Newman's Own Foundation grantee partners promote nutritious food in schools, support Indigenous food justice, and through SeriousFun Children's Network, create positive childhood experiences for kids living with serious illnesses.
"We are proud to see the Pay What You Want Food Truck continuing Paul Newman's legacy of radical giving," said Alex Amouyel, President and CEO of Newman's Own Foundation. "Whether people choose to 'pay' $1.00, $10.00, or $100.00 for a slice or a salad, it's in fact a donation to the Foundation and our mission, to nourish and transform the lives of children who face adversity."

This gay Olympic figure skater just proposed to his boyfriend and 'he said yes'
We could all use an injection of joy right now, and lucky for us, love is in the air! Out gay Olympic figure skater Paul Poirier just proposed to his boyfriend and shared the happy news with the rest of the world with a cute Instagram post of the two men showing off their new engagement rings. 'We did a thing (he said yes),' Poirier wrote on social media, announcing his engagement to boyfriend Kevin. Poirier's figure skating partner, Piper Gilles, was one of the first to congratulate the lovebirds, commenting, 'So happy for you two!! You've deserved all the love.' The 33-year-old world champion shared the news with those closest to him before making the announcement public. The couple has yet to announce a wedding date. 'It was a very casual proposal at home during our evening routine,' Poirier told Outsports. 'It was really nice to share that quiet moment together, and then to share the news with our families and closest friends. We're both very excited!' It takes a lot of guts to come out as an athlete. Luckily, more and more LGBTQ+ Olympic athletes are taking the plunge. In fact, four Olympic athletes kissed their partners in front of the world during the last Olympics, six lesbian couples who competed at the Paris Olympics, and gold medalist Jade Carey hard launched her new girlfriend just this past March. Poirier may be a fairly private person and a bit of an introvert, but he came out publicly back in 2021, a year ahead of going to the Beijing Winter Olympics. '[Being a gay athlete] hasn't been something that I've really talked about very much, especially in a public setting,' Poirier said at the time. 'I've had this attitude that my private life is my private life and my life outside of skating is my life outside of skating. I haven't necessarily allowed all of those things to [blend] together. I think with the lead-up to the Olympic Games in the next year, I definitely see opportunities to share what we do and who we are to a much wider audience, and that opportunity is not lost on me.' Poirier and Gilles are currently working to land a spot at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
