TAMPA – Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik, along with his wife Penny, announced this evening at the Community Heroes Celebration Event at T. Pepin Hospitality Centre that the Vinik Family Foundation, in partnership with the Lightning Foundation, will make another five-season, $10 million pledge to Tampa Bay non-profits. The program honors grass roots Heroes from the seven-county who are using their lives to make a difference in the community.
The new pledge allows the Lightning to continue celebrating Heroes at each regular season Lightning home game who have used their passion and determination to help others in need in the community.
