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."

WWE star Logan Paul, model Nina Agdal married in extravagant Italy wedding
WWE star Logan Paul and model Nina Agdal got married during a ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, on Friday, according to a video shared by his younger brother, Jake, on Instagram. It marked a return to the area where Paul proposed in July 2023, which was just over a year after the couple was spotted at a restaurant in London with friends. And the ceremony that, according to TMZ, was officiated by Mike Majlak — the 'Impaulsive' podcast co-host — caused Jake to become emotional, as he captioned the video with, 'I've seriously been crying.' Advertisement 4 Logan Paul and Nina Agdal were married Friday. Screengrab via Instagram 4 Nina Agdal and Logan Paul are pictured at their wedding Friday. Screengrab via Instagram Paul and Agdal welcomed their first child, Esmé, in September 2024, and she was in attendance at the ceremony, too, along with Jake and his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam. During the ceremony, Paul donned a white jacket, a black bow tie and black pants, and the pair of couples posted for a photo afterward. Advertisement Paul and Agdal were spotted in Cernobbio on Wednesday paddling separate canoes and swimming, and Paul also shared a series of photos and videos — including one of the couple practicing their dance for the ceremony — to reveal that it was his 'wedding week.' 4 Logan Paul, Nina Agdal, Jutta Leerdam and Jake Paul are pictured at the wedding ceremony. Screengrab via Instagram When Paul proposed to Agdal at Hotel Passalacqua last year, Agdal was 'completely blindsided by the proposal and was visibly surprised' — and the ring was the wrong size, a witness told the Daily Mail at the time. Advertisement Then, Paul reportedly called Jake and said, 'Bro, you have a sister,' the outlet added. 'Today is the day I ask the love of my life to marry me,' Paul said in a 2023 YouTube video that provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the proposal. 'Fourteen months ago, I fell in love with the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in my life, and I have been waiting for this day ever since.' 4 Nina Agdal and Logan Paul were married in Lake Como, Italy, on Friday. Screengrab via Instagram Advertisement Paul's fame has skyrocketed after making his in-ring WWE debut in 2022, and he spent time on the field pregame at Yankee Stadium two weeks ago ahead of WWE SummerSlam — posing with Aaron Judge and getting the superstar to sign a baseball. But before Paul faces John Cena in a singles bout at WWE Clash in Paris on Aug. 31, he took a break for the extravagant ceremony.
