Hockey Fights Cancer Nights dotted the NHL schedule in the month of November as each franchise held fundraising nights to support the hunt for a cure. For the Nashville Predators, though, one day wasn't enough.
The Preds organization and the Nashville Predators Foundation raised nearly $100,000 in its largest single fundraising initiative ever during Hockey Fights Cancer Week. More than 125 volunteers came together to raise money and awareness during two home games before Thanksgiving, and Preds staff members also participated in community events outside the arena throughout the week.
"We're always asking people for financial donations, but to allow our staff to go volunteer and give time as well makes it even more meaningful," said Predators Senior Director of Community Relations Rebecca King. "It's something for our staff, too."
