Alabama head coach Nick Saban has once again made a donation to an important cause, this time it was to the Alabama Space & Rocket Center fundraiser.
According to reports, on the day that US Space and Rocker center passed their $1.5 million goal, Nick Saban and his wife Terry Saban made an undisclosed donation, according to the fundraiser’s GoFundMe page.
“The contribution was made about midday Tuesday, hours before the rocket center announced it had received a $250,000 donation from technology company SAIC.”
The best part?
The Saban’s kept the amount of their donation private.
Their donation is listed as “Nick & Terry Saban, Nick’s Kids Foundation,” but they left the public amount of contribution private.
Nick’s Kids Foundation has donated to many charities. This is what the website has to say:
“Thanks to the generosity of donors and the efforts of Nick and Terry Saban, Nick’s Kids Foundation has distributed over $9 million to hundreds of deserving organizations and causes. Nick’s Kids has completed projects including the career tech classrooms at the Tuscaloosa County Juvenile Detention Center, the Tuscaloosa Riverwalk Playground, renovating the STTEP Building of Brewer Porch Children’s Center, building 17 Habitat for Humanity homes and the Alberta School of Performing Arts playground. Nick’s Kids is also a major donor of the Tuscaloosa All-Inclusive Playground, the Saban Center, and the YMCA of Tuscaloosa.”
This donation is great news for the Space and Rocket center which shared its desperate need for donations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
