Nick's Kids Foundation Luncheon

“It’s done,” ESPN Network proudly reported, marking the successful completion of yet another heartwarming tradition in Tuscaloosa. Nick and Terry Saban once again opened their hearts — and the gates of Bryant-Denny Stadium — to host the annual **Nick’s Kids Foundation Giveaway Luncheon**, a beloved event that celebrates generosity, community spirit, and the legacy of giving.

Held at **Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium**, the luncheon brought together dozens of charitable organizations, community leaders, and families, all beneficiaries of the foundation’s tireless work. This year’s event was especially significant, as it marked yet another milestone in a legacy the Sabans began when they arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2007. Since its inception, **Nick’s Kids Foundation** has given away millions of dollars to children’s causes across Alabama and the Southeast, supporting everything from education and health care to housing and special needs programs.

The atmosphere at the stadium was filled with gratitude and celebration. Tables were lined with smiling faces — school administrators, parents, nonprofit directors, and kids whose lives have been touched by the Sabans’ mission. The event wasn’t just about the donations, though there were plenty; it was about the people behind them, and the stories of resilience, hope, and transformation that they represent.

 

Coach Nick Saban, known nationally for his success on the football field, took the stage with a different kind of pride. “This is the championship that matters the most,” he said, addressing the crowd. “Football is what I do, but this — this is who Terry and I are. This foundation is about making a difference in the lives of children, and we’re so grateful to everyone who’s part of that.”

Terry Saban, affectionately called “Miss Terry” by many in the Alabama community, echoed her husband’s sentiments. She has been the driving force behind much of the day-to-day efforts of the foundation and is deeply involved in coordinating events like the giveaway luncheon. “Every year we get to meet more amazing people who are doing God’s work in our communities,” she said. “This luncheon is our way of celebrating them and amplifying their efforts.”

As donations were announced — ranging from scholarships and after-school program funding to mental health initiatives and shelter support — applause filled the stadium. Representatives from each organization came forward to accept checks and share a few words about how the funds would be used. Many became emotional, expressing how vital Nick’s Kids has been in helping them serve their missions.

“It’s done,” indeed — another year, another impactful round of giving. But for the Sabans and their foundation, the work never truly ends. They have made it clear that as long as there’s a need, Nick’s Kids Foundation will be there to help meet it. Through football, they’ve built champions on the field. Through their foundation, they’re building champions off it — one child, one family, one gift at a time.
