MOMO Motorsports designed and donated a unique special edition SeriousFun MOMO steering wheel with Paul Newman's signature for the SeriousFun New York City Gala. Jon Bon Jovi and Chris Botti provided amazing entertainment however the campers stole the show!
In addition, to acting and car racing, Paul Newman had a passion for helping others specifically children who are seriously ill. He founded Newman's Own and also SeriousFun which gives these amazing kids an opportunity to attend camp free of charge with all of the 24 hour medical support needed.

It was a pleasure to connect race car driver and MOMO Motorsports owner Henrique Cisneros with Clea Newman who was thrilled that he wanted MOMO to be involved in SeriousFun’s mission.
"I want to do something different and help them amplify their marketing efforts. That's when I pitched the idea: Paul Newman drove his entire life with a MOMO steering wheel. Why don't we do this signature series Paul Newman steering wheel… and all the proceeds go to the camps.” - Henrique Cisneros
