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 February 27, the Lightning honored Jovan McNeill who is dedicated to inspiring inner-city youth through the great outdoors and turning life skills into a lifetime of memories.
McNeill founded Cloud Nine Outdoors in 2015.
Through activities like hunting, fishing, camping, and more he provides kids with opportunities to build confidence, develop new skills, and gain an appreciation for the environment.
His nonprofit serves 200 students and parents annually through six different programs. Each offers hands-on learning that fosters resilience and personal growth.
The Lightning Foundation gave Jovan McNeill a $50,000 grant which he will use to help continue his mission.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
