WHAT CELEBRITIES TOOK THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE & WHAT IS IT?

The Ice Bucket Challenge, has become a pop culture phenomenon.  Celebrities, politicians, athletes, your momma, daddy, auntie, uncle, grandmother, grandfather and the neighbors next door are pouring ice water over their heads and nominating other participants who have 24 hours to do that or donate to the ALS Association in the U.S. The origins of the idea of dumping cold water on one’s head to raise money for charity are unclear and have been attributed to multiple sources.  The challenge went viral through social media. On August 18, 2014, the ALS Association announced that it had received $15.6 million in donations compared to $1.8 million during the same time period (July 29 to August 18) in the prior year.  At last count, they’ve raised a total of $41.8 million in donations from July 29 until August 21 and more than 739,000 new donors.
