Icing up for ALS

The Ice Bucket Challenge promoted awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and encouraged donations for research. More than 17 million people posted videos of themselves getting a bucket of ice and water dumped over their head while nominating three people to do the same thing. It went viral in the summer of 2014, using social media as a platform to reach a worldwide audience and encourage donations to the ALS Assocation.
