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 Feb. 6, the Bolts honored a couple who believe that reading and succeeding go hand in hand as the Lightning Community Heroes.
Steve and Carolyn Roskamp are the founders of the Manatee Education Foundation’s “Soar in Four Program.” It’s a life-changing literacy program that helps more than 11,000 children and families every year by ensuring that kids have the support they need for success in school and beyond.
The Lightning awarded the Roskamps a $50,000 grant to help the Manatee Education Foundation continue its great work.
