Internet Phenomenon Fundraises Millions for ALS

Nationwide - Almost all of our social media pages have been deluged lately with fundraising videos and pictures of friends, family and random celebrities dumping buckets of ice-cold water over their heads. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge began as a way to raise money and awareness for ALS research. It's taking the entire nation by storm. The trend shows no signs of abating as more and more people take the challenge, post videos of it on Facebook and other social media sites, then challenge and tag others to do the same.  The National ALS Association said that it and its affiliated chapters had received more than $10 million in donations in a two-week period since the movement began to take off in late July.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
