TAMPA, Fla. — At every home game, the Tampa Bay Lightning honors a local person or nonprofit working to make an impact in our community.

During the game on December 15, the Lightning honored a woman who is all about serving those who have served us.

Desiree Holley is the Chief Operating Officer at Operation Healing Forces. It’s an organization focused on caring for the bravest of the brave members of the U.S. Military’s Special Operations Forces.

Their goal is to promote the long-term mental, physical, and emotional well-being of the special operations community, their families, and caregivers.

For her efforts, The Lightning awarded Holley with a $50,000 grant to help Operation Healing Forces continue their important work.

Nearly all Lightning games will be broadcast live on The Spot – Tampa Bay 66 (WXPX-TV) and will also be streamed here.

The Spot Tampa Bay 66 is the official broadcast partner of the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Spot and Tampa Bay 28 are both owned by EW Scripps.

"They have absolute power. They control everything."

An elderly Pasco County homeowner has been living as a fugitive for six months, hiding in another state after her HOA obtained an arrest warrant over unpaid fines and fees stemming from violations. Tampa Bay 28 I-Team Investigator Adam Walser has been covering the unchecked power and growing influence of HOAs in Florida for years and spoke with Ying Pang about her issues.
