Paul Newman Donation

Paul Newman has donated %5,000 to a school drama club. When Ypsilanti High School drama teacher, Michelle Peet, checked her mailbox earlier this week, she discovered the color of money. Paul Newman who was once a budding actor himself, had donated $5,000 to the school's drama club as part of its ongoing fundraising effort. Michelle found inside the envelope a check that will help defray costs associated with the drama club's upcoming trip to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. Club members are scheduled to perform a 90 minute show there. He wrote a note that said that the enclosed contribution was sent with every good wish for continued success in their worthy endeavors. To date the club has raised $75,000 and needed $10,000 more so this cuts in half what they need to raise yet. They are so happy.
