The Lightning have found a way to "recognize their remaining seven Community Heroes" this season despite being away from Amalie Arena, and it involves Lightning Foundation Exec Dir Elizabeth Frazier, Lightning CEO Steve Griggs and other reps "visiting the Heroes on site," according to Diana Nearhos of the TAMPA BAY TIMES. Before the NHL season paused in March, the organization had "hoped to continue the feature at live, sold-out games." Frazier said, "When we realized we weren't going to be able to honor them in game, we decided to, since the hero can't come to us, we are going to them." It is "not the same as sharing the video and making the presentation in front of a captive audience," but the benefit is "learning more about the organizations." Frazier and Lightning execs "toured 1Voice Foundation in Brandon, the area's only private pediatric cancer research lab, to honor Cameron Tebbi." Since then, they "recognized DJ Reyes at Bay Legal Services (a nonprofit law firm), Mike Alstott at the Mike Alstott Foundation (which provides experiences for children in the hospital), Bruce DeGrace at Neighborly Care (an adult day center), David Siracusa at Religious Community Services (a homelessness, hunger and domestic violence crisis center), and Alan Bomstein outside Amalie Arena" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 8/9).
