Mission

The Newman Experience Co.’s mission is to provide a “pain to purpose” roadmap to nonprofit leaders so they can effectively build a platform to create positive change in another human’s life.

Newman Experience Co.’s founder, Eric Newman, is the Founder and “Chief Play Officer” of the Roc Solid foundation, which he started in 2009 to help children undergoing cancer treatments. He was fueled by the pain of his own childhood cancer experience, and he directed that pain into the purpose of building playsets for kids fighting cancer to provide them with an escape from their new and difficult reality.

Over the past 12 years, Eric has learned so much about building a successful nonprofit from the ground up, and he’s ready to help others use their pain to fuel their purpose.
