ORLANDO, Florida (WESH) — Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando is getting a big boost – all because of a Super Bowl bet.
Attorney Dan Newlin bet on the Seattle Seahawks winning the big game, and he promised to donate whatever he earned to support charity.
He made good on that promise on Wednesday, presenting a $1 million check.
The money donated will be used for research to treat and cure children’s cancer.
