Blue Jackets' win earns $10K for charity
What started with a tweet from a 25-year-old Blue Jackets fan Wednesday morning ended Friday night with more than $10,000 pledged to local charities and nonprofit organizations.
In an effort to rouse the Jackets from a five-game losing streak, Columbus resident Tyler Schweinfurth got on Twitter and promised $20 to the Jackets player who delivered a winning goal Friday night against the Detroit Red Wings.
By the time the Jackets took the ice in Nationwide Arena, nearly 150 people, got behind the drive and pledged $5,327 to the "money on the board" campaign.
