Twelve hours after the Nashville Predators took a 3-1 series lead in Round Two of the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs on the ice, the Predators Foundation had a record setting morning off of it.
During a ceremony at Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday morning, the Foundation distributed a record 129 grants and $503,103 to Nashville and Middle Tennessee-based community serve and charitable organizations. Combined with Wednesday's donation, the Preds Foundation donated more than $1 million in cash to organizations across the 2016-17 season.
That's a lot of good spread throughout one of the nation's premier cities.
And while the Foundation provides the outlet to help make those donations a reality, it's those who are in the community on a daily basis, working to make a difference in the lives of those who call Nashville home, that this day is all about.
