SMART is pleased to congratulate Gail Clifton on being honored by the Tampa Bay Lightning as their 291st Community Hero for her work with the SMART organization over the past 20 years. Ms. Clifton and her guests were treated to a Bolts game on December 29, given a special tour of Amalie Arena and the Lightning locker room. Ms. Clifton was presented with a $50,000 grant check by Steve Griggs, CEO of the Lightning and Lightning left winger Chris Kunitz to help fund construction of SMART’s covered arena to provide therapeutic horseback riding and learning activities during inclement weather. “We are all feeling the deepest gratitude to the Lighting Foundation and the Vinik Family Foundation for their fabulous grant of $50,000 – and to Jabil for wining and dining all of us in the Jabil Community Heroes Suite,” said Ms. Clifton. “I feel very lucky to now be a part of the Lightning Community Heroes family – and I’ve always felt very lucky to be a part of the SMART family.”
