Lead Balloon,
The donation was made by Dick Smith Foods, as Dick had pointed out in an earlier post.

As I understand it, the company and foundation was set up as a non-profit organisation to support Australian charities through appropriate donations.
It donates its ENTIRE profits to charitable causes (Six million dollars, so far).

The idea came from 'Paul Newman's Own' products - all profits from which also go to charity.
Putting a famous name and face to a product line to promote sales and increase the bottom line for charitable works is just clever marketing.

A browse through the Dick Smith Foods website will soon put you straight.


I'll just echo the sentiments of others and say... "Onya, Dick!"
