Following a year off in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, Tuesday, Sept. 28 will mark the return of the First Horizon Petey's Preds Party. Over the ice at Bridgestone Arena, fans will enjoy an evening of stand-up comedy from Nashville-based comedian Aaron Weber, a delicious dinner and an auction of rare hockey and sports items. Individual tickets and tables of 10 are available by visiting NashvillePredators.com/Peteys.
In addition to benefiting the Predators Foundation, both upcoming events will benefit the Peterson Foundation for Parkinson's, which was founded in 2009 by Brent Peterson. "Petey," as he is known, served as an assistant coach from Day One until 2011 when he brought his battle with Parkinson's into the public eye. Today, Petey continues to work tirelessly to raise awareness of the devastating effects of Parkinson's disease and advance PFP's mission - to support and enhance lives of people with Parkinson's, their care partners and families to achieve their highest possible quality of life through awareness, education and programs within a caring community.
