About

The Kick’n what?

The Kick’n Chick’n Wing Fest is a chicken wing cook-off between local Birmingham restaurants competing for the title of best wings in town, or what we like the call, The Thighsman Trophy. Thousands of locals come out to taste the fabulous wings and celebrate the South’s favorite fall tradition, football. Click here to see our Hall of Flame!

Who are we helping? Magic Moments of course!

In 2009, the Junior Board of Magic Moments created the Kick’n Chick’n Wing Fest as their signature event and way to raise money and awareness for this great organization. All proceeds raised with this event go directly to granting wishes. Now, when could you say eating a chicken wing made a kid smile?!?!

Magic is often described as unexplainable, but the magic created in Alabama each year by Magic Moments is easy to explain. Magic Moments fulfills the non-medical wishes of chronically ill Alabama children, providing them an opportunity to turn away from illness and suffering – if only for a moment – and feel what it is like to just be a kid again!

All kinds of wishes for all kinds of kids are granted, specifically those who have life-threatening or life-altering medical conditions that substantially limit one or more major life activities. In addition to fulfilling individual wishes, Magic Moments also provides camping experiences for wish children and their families at Children’s Harbor on Lake Martin.

Magic Moments is a federally-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dependent upon donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, and civic groups. The money we raise stays right here in Alabama allowing us to touch the lives of children in each of our 67 counties. Magic Moments is not a United Way agency, and we are not affiliated with any other wish-granting organization. We are an independent agency that is dedicated to making the dreams of Alabama’s children come true by giving them a magic moment that will last a lifetime.
