A Butler native is hoping to get help from the Penguins and Pens fans to win a bet with a Capitals fan.
Jon Stehle grew up in Butler but now he is a member of City Council in Fairfax, Virginia.
Stehle has entered into a bet with a fellow councilmember who is a Capitals fan but in order to win, Stehle needs more than just the Penguins to prevail in their second round playoff matchup. Stehle is also asking Pens fans to donate to the charity Britepaths.
Donations to the short-term safety net charity can be designated either Pens or Caps and the number and amount of donations along with the outcome of the actual series will determine the winner of the bet. To help Stehle prevail in this challenge so that he will not have to wear a Capitals jersey at a future city of Fairfax event, visit britepaths.org.
