Our Mission 
We are dedicated to the emotional healing of neglected, abused and underpriveleged children by providing tools and opportunities to build self esteem and encourage a better family unit, giving hope for a brighter future.


What is the Walter & Connie Payton Foundation?

Our foundation is about helping abused, neglected & underprivileged children in the state of Illinois. We strive to help boost these children's self-esteem and give them a reason to believe that tomorrow can be different. That tomorrow can be better.
 
"Children have always brought a tremendous amount of joy to me and I feel that if you can catch them at a young age you can really change a life. There are a lot of studies that show that one act of kindness to these children has a 40 percent chance of making that child have a completely different outcome in their life. What you hope is that you can get a kid to believe in something and to believe in themselves."       - Walter Payton
