TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning honored Christopher Rogers as the 25th Lightning Community Hero of the 2015-16 season during the first period of tonight’s game versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. Rogers, who received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Heroes program, will donate the money to the Crisis Center.
Seven years ago, Rogers served as a volunteer at the Crisis Center where he refreshed the non-profit’s IT infrastructure. As the Global Vice President of Information Technology for Sykes Enterprises, he provided hundreds of pro-bono hours in order to bring a reliable and an up-to-date infrastructure.
