Welcome to the on-line home of Payton’s Play It Forward Foundation.
Throughout history great minds have attempted to capture our hearts and
instill in all
us that helping those less fortunate is not an option, but the duty of al
lmankind.
 In
1204 Moses ben Maimon wisely educated the masses and the generations
of mankind with great expectations and this eloquent directive: “Anticipate
charity by preventing poverty, assist the reduced fellowman, either by
a considerable gift, or a sum of money, or by teaching him a trade, or
by putting him in the way of business, so that he may earn an honest
livelihood, and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding
out his hand for charity. This is the highest step and the summit of
charity’s golden ladder.”
Had the words of wisdom and counsel been heeded through the years, we very well
might not have ever found the steadily increasing numbers of families
and children in need. Sean and Beth Payton, founders of Payton’s Play
it Forward Foundation, have embraced this duty throughout their lives
and now, through this foundation.
“We have a dream here, and that is to be able to meet the
needs---whatever they maybe--- and, although it is truly a golden ladder
in terms of expense, it is one we most certainly must climb if we are
to do our duty.”---Sean and Beth Payton
It is with these sentiments that we invite you to join us
as we “Play It Forward” one family, one child at a time. Together, through
our perseverance, we will make a difference.
