Paul Newman (Newman's Own) contributed a significant amount of money to Straight, Inc., according to a news article (see post below for full text) from 1992. I'm looking for a list of his current charities. Maybe we could take our story to him and ask for funds for our side of the cause now.

Oh shit! Here I was thinking spending that little extra money for his salad dressing was doing some good and instead it helped the continuation of my teenage demise.

I'm going to send him a letter, not that it will do any good because it will just be some ass kissing executive reading his mail and responding to me. I am curious to know if he is aware about all the BS that staight did and if so does he regret giving them money.
fka you send me the iron ons and I'll be sure to iron that on a T for ya. If that doesn't work I'll bust out the fabric glue (works sometimes for GS patches) :lol:

Back when the beach was habitable, I bought a bottle of No-Ad suntan lotion. Wasn't til I was coated with the stuff that I noticed this:
NO-ADdiction: A portion of all NO-AD sales is contributed to the NO-ADiction campaign, a non-profit drug and alcohol prevention and awareness program in schools nationwide.
I'm guessing this is like D.A.R.E.
Anyway - you never really know what your supporting when you buy something.
Personally, I like Banana Boat better :smile:
