The Protective Life Foundation and Nick’s Kids Fund have announced plans for a social media blitz to benefit Nick’s Kids Fund on September 20. The event is designed to raise awareness for Nick’s Kids and the “I AM PROTECTIVE” campaign by asking people to share what they are most protective of with the hashtag #IAMPROTECTIVE. For every post to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #IAMPROTECTIVE, the Protective Life Foundation will donate $1 to Nick’s Kids Fund, up to $10,000.

Nick's Kids Fund is an organization founded by Terry and Nick Saban to honor Coach Saban’s late father, Nick Lou Saban. Mr. Saban always wanted to help young people, and the Nick’s Kids Fund, which focuses on child, family, teacher and student causes, was created to fulfill his dream.

Terry Saban said, “Since arriving in Tuscaloosa, Nick’s Kids Fund has been able to support more than 100 organizations in Alabama. Providing food and shelter for disadvantaged children, building 15 homes with Habitat for Humanity, and constructing playgrounds are just a few projects we are proud to have accomplished. On Saturday, through the campaign with Protective Life, we encourage people to support Nick’s Kids and this message!”

Kate Cotton, VP of Community Relations for Protective, said, “The Protective Life Foundation is excited about the opportunity to support Nick’s Kids Fund. Its focus aligns with the Foundation’s commitment of serving people by contributing to the welfare and quality of life in our local communities.”

The donation and social effort are part of the overall “I AM PROTECTIVE” campaign from Protective Life Insurance Company. This campaign is designed to allow people from all walks of life to share their stories about the people and things that matter most to them. Stories, photos and videos will be archived and visible to the public at www.iamprotective.com.
