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 Dec. 4, the Lightning honored a man serving those who bravely served us.

Todd Sherman is the co-founder of The Patriot Fund, an organization that helps veterans returning from service transition to civilian life.

The Patriot Fund offers a variety of services, including service animals, power wheelchairs, mental wellness, job training, and mentorship.

For his efforts, the Lightning awarded Sherman a $50,000 grant to help The Patriot Fund continue its impactful work.
