TAMPA, Fla. — The March 29 Lightning game was Kids Day, which focused on young Bolts fans.
During the game ABC Action News anchor Deiah Riley was joined by her daughter Ryan to announce the Lightning Community Hero.
Tony DiBenedetto is the founder of Think Big for Kids.
The nonprofit works to break the cycle of poverty by supporting students with career exploration, mentoring, and job programs to help them enter the workforce.
The Lightning Foundation gave Tony a $50,000 grant, which he donated to Think Big to continue their life-altering work.

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
