TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning honored Lizzie Dolan as the 33rd Lightning Community Hero of the 2015-16 season during the first period of tonight’s game versus the Carolina Hurricanes. Dolan, who received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Heroes program, will donate the money to All Children’s Hospital and Academy of the Holy Names.
Tonight’s community hero has empowered teens in order for them to accomplish their dreams. At the age of 16, Dolan formed Cross Out Cancer, an organization that helped organize a 5K race with cross-country runners throughout the Tampa Bay area.
