"Goatee Gamble": Charities Chosen

We told you yesterday about the $1,000 charity “wimp-out clause” in DC’s White House correspondents’ “Goatee Gamble.” Today, we hear that NBC’s Chuck Todd and ABC’s Jake Tapper have picked their charities.

According to Politico, Todd has chosen Samaritan Inns, which provides housing and recovery services to homeless and addicted men and women. And Tapper has picked Dr. Shershah Syed, an ob/gyn who helps women in Pakistan from complications due to pregnancy such as fistulas.

Again, for those of you just tuning in, the conditions of the bet are: if the Dodgers win the National League Championship Series, Tapper grows a goatee and if the Phillies win (and they’re one game closer), Todd shaves his goatee, or a $1,000 donation will be paid by the losing correspondent to the winner’s choice of charity.
