Joanne Woodward

SeriousFun is thrilled to honor Joanne Woodward, beloved and highly respected Academy, Emmy, and Golden Globe-winning actress, producer, activist, and philanthropist.


Married to SeriousFun founder Paul Newman for 50 years, Ms. Woodward has been a supporter of SeriousFun's camps and programs since their inception in 1988. Ms. Woodward's efforts have helped ensure that Newman's camp legacy lives on and the transformative impact for children living with serious illness and their families continue to grow all over the world.
