This Will be the Preds’ Second Hockey Fights Cancer Night of the Season, With Proceeds Benefiting the 365 Fund, Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt

The Nashville Predators Foundation will host their second Hockey Fights Cancer Night of the season today, Feb. 27, when the team takes on the Winnipeg Jets at Bridgestone Arena at 7 p.m. CT. The Preds Foundation looks to build off the support seen during their Hockey Fights Cancer efforts last season, which raised $262,365.24 for the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund presented by Twice Daily.

“We are thrilled to host the second and final Hockey Fights Cancer Night of the 2024-25 season,” said Rebecca King, Vice President of Community Relations for the Nashville Predators. “This initiative holds a special place in our hearts, as it reflects the deep commitment of our organization, players, coaches and fans to supporting cancer patients, their families, and the vital research being conducted at Monroe Carell Jr. Hospital at Vanderbilt.”

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 tremendously grateful for the unwavering commitment of the Nashville Predators and the 365 Cancer Fund to make a difference in the lives of pediatric cancer patients and to help advance critical cancer research that improves outcomes for children,” said Meg Rush, MD, MMHC, President of Monroe Carell. “It is a true joy and honor to see our community come together twice a year for Hockey Fights Cancer nights to celebrate our pediatric cancer patients while also raising awareness around childhood cancers and our programming that truly offers hope and healing.”

For every ticket purchased through the donation ticket package, $10 will be donated to the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund presented by Twice Daily.

Additionally, the Preds will partner with musician and cancer survivor Harry Hudson for the Hockey Fights Cancer game. Hudson’s charity, Hey I’m Here For You (HIHFY), helps enhance the lives of teens and young adults undergoing cancer treatment. The Nashville Predators Foundation will sell co-branded HIHFY trucker hats and beanies online and in-person at the Foundation table (section 106/107). Proceeds from the hats will benefit the 365 Fund and the Teen Cancer Lounge at Monroe Carell supported by Hudson, Teen Cancer America and Kylie Jenner.
