The ALS Ice Bucket challenge took off around the UCF community, with everyone from sororities to sports teams being nominated to dump a bucket of ice on their heads for a great cause.
UPDATE: Blake Bortles Does Ice Bucket Challenge; See Video
Not only has the ALS Ice Bucket challenge raised awareness for the disease, it has also sent donations skyrocketing.
The ALS office received $160,000 during a recent 10-day period and that doesn’t even include the money that has been sent to chapter offices. Last year, they received less than $14,000 in donations in the same 10-day period.
