Hear from Martin Fletcher and Clea Newman

 

Clea Newman

As the youngest daughter of the legendary acting couple Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Clea Newman inherited her parents’ commitment to charitable causes and giving back.

She started her philanthropic endeavors at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, the first camp started by Paul Newman.

Following her time at camp, Clea went on to support a variety of causes close to her heart, including educational opportunities for children and adults living with autism, animals and wildlife protection, the environment, the arts, and issues local to her home in Fairfield County.

Now, Clea serves as the proud Ambassador and spokesperson for SeriousFun Children’s Networks. As Ambassador, Clea strives to elevate awareness of the mission and encourage people and partners to support this important, yet often overlooked, aspect of life for children who live with the fear, isolation, pain, and limits related to their condition, often on a daily basis.
