The Tampa Bay Lightning honored Tom Touchton as the 20th Lightning Community Hero this season during the first period of the game against the Florida Panthers. Touchton received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Heroes program!
Tom joined AM Tampa Bay to explain how he will spend his $50,000 donation.
Over two decades, Touchton has worked tirelessly to foster the Tampa Bay History Center’s success, gifting his personal collection of historical maps to create the Touchton Map Library. The map directory features the only cartographic education center in the Southeast. Thanks to Touchton’s efforts, Tampa Bay’s treasured legacy will stand the test of time.
