Chicks Taking Charge: The Chick Who Made Payton “Play it Forward”

By now you’ve probably heard of Saints Coach Sean Payton’s ambitious plan to launch a new non-profit organization called “Payton’s Play It Forward.” What you probably don’t know is that the organization may never have gotten off the ground if not for one fateful night over a bottle of wine with a Texas chick who doesn’t take no for an answer.

We’ll get to that night in a moment. But first, we want you to meet and understand this lady from the Lone Star state. Karen Hegner, pictured above (left) with Sean’s wife Beth, is the essence of all things southern. She’s got charm, smarts, wit, and balls. That’s right, a chick with balls…but not in the RuPaul kind of way. She’s got the kind of balls it takes to start up a non-profit and grow it into a hugely successful welfare to work organization called Crossroads Housing. She’s got the kind of balls it takes to approach the almighty Dallas Cowboys and convince them to sponsor her organization. And she’s got the kind of balls it takes to push a man like Sean Payton to change the culture of a city through his work off the football field.
