Lightning Foundation to host online auctions, 50/50 raffles in playoffs

TAMPA BAY - While the Tampa Bay Lightning are in Toronto for the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Lightning Foundation is set to host a 50/50 online raffle by round, as well as a Bolts Silent Auction during all scheduled home games during the postseason.

The Lightning Foundation will be hosting an online 50/50 raffle, presented by Moffitt Cancer Center, during all rounds of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The raffle is set to open at 7 a.m. on August 3 and will continue throughout the entirety of Round 1. A winner will be selected at the conclusion of every round. The pot of the 50/50 raffle is split in half, with half going to the lucky winner and the other half going to Lightning Foundation. All proceeds from the Lightning Foundation's half is donated to Moffitt Cancer Center as well as hundreds of other charities throughout the greater Tampa Bay community. To purchase raffle tickets fans are encouraged to visit www.Bolts5050.com.

Additionally, starting August 3, and during all Lightning playoff games where they are scheduled as the home team, fans will have the opportunity to bid on unique player and team-signed merchandise and more through the Bolts Silent Auction. Through the auction, the Lightning Foundation has raised over $1 million to date. All proceeds will benefit the Lightning Foundation, helping to support its mission of meeting basic human needs and enhancing lives of those in the Tampa Bay area. Fans can visit bolts.givesmart.com to sign up and bid online. Each home game auction will close at the end of each specific game's second intermission.

The Lightning Foundation is honored to give back to the local community that we call home. Giving back is a fundamental value of the Lightning, and we are committed to collaborating with our fans, employees, and community partners to support initiatives that build and sustain a healthy community.
