Governors’ Super Bowl bet pays off for Spokane nonprofit
Losing never tasted so good.
Spokane’s Women and Children’s Free Restaurant will get a delivery of Boston cream pie cupcakes from the governor of Massachusetts, the payoff for a friendly, win-or-lose gubernatorial wager on the Super Bowl.
Gov. Jay Inslee’s office selected the Spokane nonprofit to get the treats from the Koffee Kup Bakery in Springfield, Massachusetts, a news release said.
Another Washington nonprofit, Mary’s Place in Seattle, was chosen to receive bacon sent by the governor of New Hampshire.
On behalf of Inslee, Seattle’s Ivar’s Restaurant is donating 1,000 cups of clam chowder to food pantries in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The Women & Children’s Free Restaurant will serve the cupcakes after an upcoming dinner, the news release said. The nonprofit provides more than 40,000 meals each year.
