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.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
