After a record grant total last year, the Nashville Predators Foundation raised the bar by an additional $100,000 in 2018 with its annual distributions reaching more than $600,000, the largest one-time donation in the Foundation's history.
The Foundation handed out 149 grants totaling $607,639.32 to Nashville and Middle Tennessee community service and charitable organizations in the Nissan Atrium inside Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday. That brings the total grant funding to nearly $6 million across 600 organizations in the foundation's 20 years of giving.
"It's a huge celebration for us to have this many people in one room," Predators Senior Director of Community Relations Rebecca King said. "They're doing great things for our community, and we're so appreciative that we can raise money to help their efforts. The people that came here today are the ones in the trenches doing all the hard work and making big changes for our community."
