Chicago Marathon - Team Sweetness 2011

Bank of America 2011 Chicago Marathon

Team Sweetness is back for 34th Annual Chicago Marathon (2011)! This year the Walter and Connie Payton Foundation and Jarrett Payton Foundation have joined together to make one great Team! Both charities strive to enrich the lives of our youth.

Support Team Sweetness and help the children of Illinois!

The Walter and Connie Payton Foundation's mission is to help 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!

The Jarrett Payton Foundation is committed to positively impacting the lives of children and adolescents – physically, emotionally, and psychologically – by creating and providing programs that present them with a wide variety of opportunities specifically designed to develop their leadership skills and enrich their lives.

“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% 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 #34
