The Tampa Bay Lightning has named its Lightning Community Heroes for November 2025. Each honouree directed a $50,000 donation to a charity of their choice. The programme continues its long-standing tradition of supporting local causes across the region.

The month’s first award went to Amy Cianci on November 8. She selected the St. Petersburg Foundation as the recipient of her $50,000 grant.

The November donations bring the programme’s total impact to hundreds of local organizations. Each $50,000 grant directly funds the work of charities selected by the honoured individuals. The Lightning Community Heroes initiative remains a key part of the team’s community outreach efforts.
