On Nov. 9, the Nashville Predators Foundation hosted their first Hockey Fights Cancer Night of the season to support childhood cancer efforts at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.

The Nashville Predators host two Hockey Fights Cancer games each season to raise support for the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund Presented by Twice Daily. At these games, Monroe Carell ambassadors are invited to the game not only to take part in a luxury suite experience but also to participate in special in-game activities like the puck drop, riding the Zamboni and more. 

Since its inception during the 2013-14 season, the 365 Fund has raised over $4 million in donations and in-kind contributions to advance pediatric cancer research efforts at Monroe Carell.

“We are so grateful for the longstanding support of the Nashville Predators and the team’s 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund that spans over a decade,” said Meg Rush, MD, MMHC, President of Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. “Each year we look forward to the Hockey Fights Cancer games that highlight our partnership with the Predators, raise support for childhood cancer efforts and celebrate our pediatric cancer patients. I truly love to see the joy that the Nashville Predators and Hockey Fights Cancer bring to our patients and their families.”
