Capitals fan gives up $19K raffle winnings so Penguins can aid synagogue massacre victims

Washington Capitals fans and Pittsburgh Penguins fans don't like each other.

But when it comes to aiding victims of a tragic mass shooting, they are more than willing to put that heated rivalry aside.

The Capitals, who announced that they were donating half the proceeds of their 50/50 raffle from Wednesday's game against the Penguins to the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, instead were able to give the full amount when a Capitals fan gave up the winning share of more than $19,000.

The money will go to aid the families of those killed and injured in the Oct. 27 shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue that left 11 dead in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
