NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Nashville Predators are giving $181,000 to the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt University.

The check is to be presented to the hospital on Tuesday.

This is the Predators' third donation to the hospital. The team has raised more than $425,000 for the hospital and its programs over the past three years.

Officials say most of the latest donation will go toward an endowed pediatric cancer research fund.
