TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning honored Tamara Davis as the 42nd Lightning Community Hero of the season during the first period of tonight’s game against the Detroit Red Wings. Davis, who received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Heroes program, will donate the money to Habitat for Humanity Pinellas County.
Having been in an abusive marriage, Davis worked up the courage to file for divorce. She was then left to make a life of her own and did not have stable living conditions, which gave her abusive ex-husband custody of the children.
