Celebs Celebrate Paul Newman's Legacy at Benefit

Less than a year after film icon and philanthropist Paul Newman's death, his legacy continued Monday night as stars raised funds for his Hole in the Wall Camps at a New York City benefit.

Newman's longtime love and widow Joanne Woodward hosted a show at Lincoln Center that boasted star-studded performances and guests including the evening's honorary chairs Robert Redford and Julia Roberts as well as Jerry Seinfeld, Kristin Chenoweth, Harry Connick, Jr., James Taylor, Yo-Yo Ma and Art Garfunkel.

The night also included performances by Hole in the Wall campers.

The first Hole in the Wall Gang camp was founded 20 years ago in Connecticut and provides a fun summer camp experience for children suffering from serious illnesses and life-threatening conditions. Since the first camp was founded, over 164,000 children worldwide have benefited.

The night was underwritten by Newman's Own Foundation, so all donations will go to the Hole in the Wall Camps Foundation.
