TAMPA, Fla. — At every home game, The Tampa Bay Lightning honor a local person or nonprofit working to make an impact in our community.
During the game on Jan. 7, the Lightning honored a woman helping to create opportunities for students who wouldn’t otherwise have them.
Yvonne Fry is the founder and CEO of Workforce Development Partners. It prepares and connects students to job and training opportunities.
The Lightning Foundation gave her $50,000 which Fry will give to the nonprofit to support a new toolkit to help connect students with local resources.

"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.
