Nashville Predators Foundation

November is Hockey Fights Cancer month which is an initiative created by the NHL and the NHLPA to unite the hockey community in support of cancer patients and their families. Last season we raised over $300,000 for the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund presented by Twice Daily, which raises funds and awareness for the vital cancer research that takes place at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.

Our goal this season is to encourage every single Preds fan to contribute to this campaign as our work is not done yet  - we are working to find a cure! 

Founded by Pekka Rinne and former captain Shea Weber, the 365 Fund raises funds and awareness for the vital cancer research that takes place at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt while brightening the lives of the hospital’s young patients and their families by offering opportunities to meet members of the Predators team and experience the joy of hockey games in Smashville.

Considering his impressive list of achievements, it is no secret that Pekka has become a staple of Nashville's hockey history and will continue to contribute significantly to the community in the future as we retire his jersey in February. In short, Rinne is the best-ever Predators and Finnish goaltender. However, not only is he a leader on the ice, but also in the community that has lovingly embraced him throughout his entire career in Nashville. From the very start of his time with the Predators, he has quietly, yet consistently, devoted countless hours and dollars to a diverse range of worthy causes.

We thank you for considering your support of the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund presented by Twice Daily!
