Nashville, Tenn. (May 21, 2024) – The Nashville Predators Foundation distributed its largest-ever one-time donation, with Helper Grant distributions totaling $825,995 during a Grant Check Presentation Ceremony at Ford Ice Center Bellevue on May 21. Through the 2024 allocation, 183 Nashville and Middle Tennessee nonprofits received a grant. 
 
“The Helper Grant Check Presentation Ceremony is an event that the Nashville Predators Foundation looks forward to every year,” Nashville Predators Vice President of Community Relations Rebecca King said. “The grant money we provide will be used to fund projects and programs benefiting youth and their families in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Having the opportunity to distribute these checks to representatives from all 183 organizations is truly special, and our record breaking $825,995 donation would not be possible without our fans and partners whose support helped us raise more money than ever before.”
