DescriptionHockey Camps - Lightning Made Hockey is designed to give hockey players or all ages and skill levels the opportunity to experience, learn, and enjoy the game of hockey through a series of camps and clinics held year round. While all Lightning Made Programs utilize USA Hockey's American Development Model to focus on basic skill development, each program exudes its own unique experience while enhancing various aspects of a player's game. Lightning Made Clinics are focused on the entry level hockey player, with an emphasis on the absolute fundamentals. The Lightning Made Alumni Series is directed at the beginner to intermediate hockey player who is looking for help on certain aspects of his or her game including defensive skills, offensive and stick handling skills, and goaltending. The Lightning Made Summer and Holiday Camps target hockey players of all skill levels who are looking to round out their overall game. The Lightning Made Training Camp is an elite level program targeted at the higher caliber player as the hockey season approaches, and gets them back in game shape. All programs utilize the best instructors you could possibly find, individuals that have been around and know the game of hockey; former NHL and college level players.Description

Return ReferenceSchedule I, Part I, Line 2ReturnReference
ExplanationWhen the Lightning Foundation pays a grant, an agreement is signed which specifies that the grant must be used for the purposes described in the agreement and may not be expended for any other purposes without the Foundation's express prior written approval. In addition, the grant may be used only for grantee's charitable and educational activities. While the Foundation understands that the grantee may participate in the public policy process, consistent with its tax-exempt status, the grantee may not use any Foundation grant funds to lobby or otherwise attempt to influence legislation, to influence the outcome of any public election, or to carry on any voter registration drive. Unless otherwise outlined in the agreement, the grantee must expend the grant, in its entirety, within one calendar year of the date of the agreement.Explanation

The GOAL of the C.H.A.R.G.E. program is: as an organization, we aim to lead by example and to inspire others. Each month, without fail, the Lightning will sponsor a volunteer event in the community to demonstrate the importance of giving back. TGH Circus Patrons Party - The Lightning Foundation sponsors a Patrons Party for Tampa General Hospital Foundation the opening night of the Barnum and Bailey Circus each year at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.

Announcing a winner towards the end of each game, one lucky fan takes home half of the evening's total, with the other half benefitting the Lighting Foundation and being re-issued back into the community via local events and programs. Event Sponsorship - The Lightning Foundation is proud to support many non-profit organizations in the Tampa Bay area throughout the year, through in-kind merchandise donations as well as charity event sponsorships.
