New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and his wife, Beth, recently created a foundation called Payton’s Play it Forward. The mission is to improve the lives of families and children in health, education and social welfare. The Dr. Phil Foundation was one of three beneficiaries that received $100,000 from this organization. Play it Forward donated a total of $350,000 to local and regional charities.

During the foundation's Black & Gold Gold gala, Dr. Phil announced his intention to give back to children's organizations of New Orleans. "I look at it as the beginning of a partnership. Every penny that we receive from you guys, we’re going to build on with our millions of viewers, and we’re going to bring it right back here to the children of New Orleans," he said.

Watch the beneficiaries message to Dr. Phil.
