Most times in life, it is not the physical or tangible limitations that hold us back—it is the belief that something is impossible. On the other hand, what makes something possible is the belief that we, ourselves, can do it. Once just a single person believes enough to make it work, get it done, or remove the obstacle, it is no longer impossible for anyone. That is the power of possibility. In 2016, SeriousFun camps and programs all around the world proved that the possibilities truly are endless.

But he knew that if he could rally the hearts and minds of some committed individuals, nothing was going to get in their way.

Now almost 30 years later, we could not be more inspired by, and appreciative of, the gift that Paul Newman has given to us, and all the children and families we serve—and how he taught us all about the power of possibility.

The Messtival, supported by sponsors Newman’s Own, Niagara Bottling, Hasbro, Inc., Abercrombie & Fitch Co., The Little Gym, KinderMusik, Ben & Jerry’s, and a number of local partners, was even featured in the weekend edition of The New York Times!
