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 March 24, the Lightning honored a woman who has made it her mission to make sure immigrants have the financial skills needed to succeed.

For the past 15 years, Molly Auld has been a dedicated volunteer with Project Prosper.
It’s an organization focused on helping people who are new to the United States understand how our financial system works.
Auld and Project Prosper tackle differences in culture, language, and lack of credit to build opportunities for low- and moderate-income immigrants.
For her efforts, the Lightning awarded Auld with a $50,000 grant to help Project Prosper and the St. Pete Free Clinic continue their mission.
