Sunday, January 26, 2025, marks what would have been Paul Newman’s 100th birthday. To honor the dedication and enduring legacy of the SeriousFun Children’s Network founder, Roundup River Ranch is proud to join the entire SeriousFun community in celebrating 2025 as The Year of SeriousFun! This milestone year is dedicated to raising awareness and support to provide life-changing camp experiences for children with serious illnesses and their families. Together, we celebrate Paul’s remarkable philanthropy by sharing his vision and impact with the world.
As Paul once said, “It’s not that the children say, ‘Thank you for a wonderful time…’ it’s that they say, ‘Thank you for changing my life.’”
In collaboration with all SeriousFun camps, this milestone year aims to amplify global awareness of the SeriousFun Children’s Network and our shared mission. Inspired by Paul’s vision, SeriousFun has become a global leader in medical specialty camps, delivering more than 1.9 million transformative experiences to children and families in over 50 countries.
This month, and throughout the year, we’ll honor Paul’s legacy of generosity, community-building, and bringing joy to children. His impact and vision continue to inspire us all. While Paul’s talents as an actor have been celebrated worldwide, his most profound legacy lies in his philanthropy. He left an indelible mark on the business community and dedicated his life to improving the lives of others. Paul Newman passed away in 2008 at the age of 83, but his incredible legacy lives on. In his 100th birthday year, let’s celebrate Paul Newman, the life-changing impact he left behind, and the lasting light his legacy continues to shine.
