I don't get it, but it's all over the Net.
Apparently it has actually raised them a lot of money by just getting more awareness of ALS out there. So party on I guess.
Apparently it cures Lou Gehrig's Disease or something. My brother got challenged, so I guess he's gonna do it.

If the famous and high-profile people just quietly donated some money, the charity would get a nice little bump in donations.
With the famous and high-profile people doing something silly and public (along with their donation), the charity has seen an enormous increase in donations.

Apparently it got started somewhat at random, and it's not quite clear how ALS got associated with it (though it's nice that it did, as otherwise it would just be a stupid internet meme instead of actually helpful).

Ah actually this suggests that it was indeed golf but ALS was connected from pretty much near the start in this flare-up:
http://online.wsj.com/articles/how-the-ice-bucket-challenge-got-its-start-1408049557
QuoteThere have been other ice-bucket challenges, including one by "Today" show anchor Matt Lauer, who did one live on air in July for a hospital.
Then, on July 15, golfer Chris Kennedy did the ice-bucket challenge and challenged his cousin Jeanette Senerchia of Pelham, N.Y., whose husband, Anthony, has had ALS for 11 years. A day later she did the challenge while her 6-year-old daughter filmed her in front of their house.
"Our whole town got involved as well as my husband's older siblings and their friends on Facebook, so it just kind of blew up and it was nonstop," said Ms. Senerchia.
Ms. Senerchia's network on Facebook connected with Pat Quinn, a 31-year-old in Yonkers, N.Y., who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2013. "A friend of mine was a friend of theirs and when they commented on it I saw it," said Mr. Quinn.

Kentucky firefighter critical after ice bucket challenge mishap
By Tim Ghianni
Fri Aug 22, 2014 2:49pm EDT
(Reuters) - A Kentucky firefighter was in critical condition Friday, a day after he and three others were injured when an aerial ladder got too close to a power line when their department doused a university band with water in an "ice bucket" fundraiser.
Captain Tony Grider, 41, and firefighter Simon Quinn, 22, from the Campbellsville Fire Department sustained electrocution injuries Thursday morning in a ladder bucket and two other firefighters were hurt coming to their aid, officials said.
Grider was listed in critical condition Friday at University of Louisville Hospital and Quinn as stable, the hospital said.
They were shocked as they were brought down in the bucket after pouring water on the Campbellsville University band in the "ice bucket" challenge to raise funds to fight Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Campbellsville police said in a statement.
"Preliminary investigation information suggests they crossed the 'electric energy thresh hold' of an overhead power line, causing an 'electric arc' to strike both firemen," police said.
Two other firefighters were treated for lesser injuries after electrical current traveled down the extended ladder when they went to help Grider and Quinn, police said.
Campbellsville University held a prayer vigil Thursday night for the firefighters.

Some of the pro-lifers go even further, accusing the ALS Association of deliberately creating embryos in order to destroy them. I am sure that Alfred Russel can explain why this accusation, though untrue and over the top, is nevertheless valid because it tells us something trivial.
It is true that the ALSA spends only about half its donations on research, but the organization does have goals that don't include research, and no one spends more on ALS research than the ALSA.

The exec summ I saw of their 2013 tax returns didn't show that. IIRC, and rounding pretty grossly, it showed about $6.5 million in research grants, $1.5 million in salaries, another $1.5 million in travel and education, $2.5 million in fundraising costs (third-party fundraisers), and another $0.5 million in lobbying/lawmaking. They took in about $12-13 million last year.

A friend of my wife's (who recently added me on Facebook-- I guess my family and hers are technically friends) made some self-righteous post about not doing the ice bucket challenge because poor kids in Africa don't have access to clean water. She even posted a pic of gluttonous Americans pouring water over their heads while some small African child sips water from a tiny cup :cry:
This was the same gal who made a long, self-indulgent (and a bit defensive) post one Monday about how she had to ignore everyone's calls and texts the day before because she desperately needed some "me time". She's 25, single, and lives by herself :huh:

I just find the whole premise silly. If you actively donate to charities left and right, and were looking for a new forthy cause; or if you or your loved one is or was an ALS sufferer, then sure be my guest and donate. But if you do not normally donate to charities, and now you decide to support what is, ultimately, a very rare disease, while ignoring all the other worthier causes, only because a bunch of fools put ice water on their heads, then you are a moron.

I just find the whole premise silly. If you actively donate to charities left and right, and were looking for a new forthy cause; or if you or your loved one is or was an ALS sufferer, then sure be my guest and donate. But if you do not normally donate to charities, and now you decide to support what is, ultimately, a very rare disease, while ignoring all the other worthier causes, only because a bunch of fools put ice water on their heads, then you are a moron.
Yeah, the thing is, I support several charities but don't feel the need to attention whore about it. I doubt that anyone of my RL friends even know that I do it.

Clear your schedule, cuz they are kinda big.
Careful, though. She's a fiery Latina with a Peruvian dad and an Argentine mom. Plus she's a tall girl.

I'm getting tired of seeing these things nonstop in my Facebook feed, especially from people who I know have no intention of making a donation and are just attention whoring. :rolleyes:

I doubt anyone suffering from ALS that is helped by the foundation really cares.

Plus it's kind of fun to be challenged, do the bucket thing and then challenge your friends. And knowing that it annoys Marty is a funness multiplier.
I bet Marty could get lots of donations if he offered to do the fire challenge. :ph34r:
If I don't hear about the ice bucket challenge in any form, on TV, on my FB feed, in the paper in the next 24 hours...I'll donate to the ALS

Well don't be so miserly. Just man up and avoid those things for the next 24 hours. Boom!
For Marti blood boil.

This one was cool - saw that on Facebook earlier today. :D
Too many charities want me to 'walk'. Or 'Race'. Or other physical bullshit.
Get the Rascal all charged up & you're golden.
