The Cannon County REACH Afterschool Program was recently the beneficiary of a grant from the Nashville Predators hockey team.

REACH received a $2,000 grant from the Predators Foundation. The foundation strives to meet the educational, social, health and cultural needs of our community by offering unique resources and financial support to local youth-oriented organizations.

2010 Grant Recipients for the Predators Foundation received a total of over $305,000. This is the largest one-time allocation in Predators Foundation history. These recipients were selected from all charities submitting a grant application in January.
