The '''Ice Bucket Challenge''' is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head, generally in conjunction with donating to a charity that promotes awareness of [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]] (ALS). It started as a trend on Facebook and Instagram, where the challenge was to either dump a bucket of ice water on one's head or to donate to a charity of the participant's choice<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/08/12/icebucketchallenge_you_don_t_need_an_ice_bucket_to_donate_to_als_research.html | title=Take the "No Ice Bucket" Challenge | work=[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]] | date=12 August 2014 | accessdate=15 August 2014 | author=Oremus, Will}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2014/06/keegan-bradley-poured-ice-wate.html | title=Keegan Bradley poured ice water over his head because Rickie Fowler told him to | work=[[Golf Digest]] | date=24 June 2014 | accessdate=15 August 2014 | author=Kerr-Dineen, Luke}}</ref>.

==Origin==
New Zealand's Cancer Society started the challenge, July 4th 2014, to help support patients and their families through one of the toughest challenges anyone will face, a cancer diagnosis<ref>https://www.cancersocietyauckland.org.nz/newsandmedia</ref>{{Dubious}}. The challenge originally involved a participant standing in two buckets of ice cold water, pouring each over their head then finally having someone else pour another ice cold water bucket over their head. The participant then nominates others to do the same within 48 hours or make a donation to the charity. Being winter in New Zealand this adds to the overall challenge. As with similar challenges, it is usually filmed so footage can be shared online.

The challenge was popularized when Massachusetts resident and former Boston College baseball player Pete Frates, who has ALS, began posting about it on Twitter. Frates was challenged by Pat Quinn of Yonkers, who has ALS. Frates went on to extend the challenge to some Boston Athletes, who accepted it. He used the ice bucket challenge taken by Matt Lauer (for a hospital), which was started by Arizona women's basketball coach Niya Butts (for cancer). The first recorded ice bucket challenge for ALS was taken by Jeanette Hane Senerchia of Pelham, NY on July 16th, 2014 after she was challenged by Chris Kennedy on Facebook. The two set out to raise awareness for ALS on behalf of Anthony Senerchia Jr., who has ALS. Together, Senerchia, Quinn and Frates are directly responsible for the tremendous increase in awareness and donations for ALS.<ref>http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/06/college-basketball-players-dump-ice-water-on-their-heads-for-charity</ref> <ref name=usatoday/><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/making-a-difference/striking-out-als-ice-bucket-challenge-brings-flood-donations-n177896 | title=Striking Out ALS: Ice Bucket Challenge Brings Flood of Donations | work=[[NBC News]] | date=11 August 2014 | accessdate=13 August 2014 | author=Keyes, Alexa}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://online.wsj.com/articles/how-the-ice-bucket-challenge-got-its-start-1408049557 | title=How the Ice-Bucket Challenge Got Its Start | work=Wall Street Journal | date=14 August 2014 | accessdate=14 August 2014 | author=Reddy, Sumathi}}</ref>

==Rules==
Within 24 hours of receiving a challenge, participants are to video record themselves in continuous footage. First, they are to announce their acceptance of the challenge followed by pouring ice into a bucket of water. The bucket is then to be lifted overhead and poured over the participant's head. After completion, the participant has the option of extend the challenge and to donate $10 to the ALS charity of their choice. Alternatively, they can decline the challenge, in which case they are encouraged to donate $100.<ref name=stahl>{{cite web | url=http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2014/08/12/health-local-als-researchers-take-ice-bucket-challenge/ | title=Health: Local ALS Researchers Take Ice Bucket Challenge | work=[[CBS Philly]] | date=12 August 2014 | accessdate=14 August 2014 | author=Stahl, Stephanie}}</ref>

==Origin==
The challenge was popularized when, on July 15, 2014, 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. 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.
Mr. Quinn called upon his friends and family. Soon, his whole network was posting challenges, including family in Florida, friends in Ireland and Greece, and a bar full of locals, which was broadcast on local television. Mr. Quinn's Facebook network overlapped with Massachusetts resident and former [[Boston College]] baseball player Pete Frates, who has ALS, and began posting about it on Twitter. Frates went on to extend the challenge to some Boston athletes, who accepted it. He used the ice bucket challenge taken by Matt Lauer, which was started by Arizona women’s basketball coach Niya Butts.<ref>http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/06/college-basketball-players-dump-ice-water-on-their-heads-for-charity</ref> <ref name=usatoday/><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/making-a-difference/striking-out-als-ice-bucket-challenge-brings-flood-donations-n177896 | title=Striking Out ALS: Ice Bucket Challenge Brings Flood of Donations | work=[[NBC News]] | date=11 August 2014 | accessdate=13 August 2014 | author=Keyes, Alexa}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://online.wsj.com/articles/how-the-ice-bucket-challenge-got-its-start-1408049557 | title=How the Ice-Bucket Challenge Got Its Start | work=Wall Street Journal | date=14 August 2014 | accessdate=14 August 2014 | author=Reddy, Sumathi}}</ref>

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

2014-08-15T21:33:06Z

Compsciasaur: /* top */ Further correct origins

The '''Ice Bucket Challenge''' is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one's head, generally in conjunction with donating to a charity that promotes awareness of [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]] (ALS). It started as a trend on Facebook and Instagram, where the challenge was to either dump a bucket of ice water on one's head or to donate to a charity of the participant's choice<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/08/12/icebucketchallenge_you_don_t_need_an_ice_bucket_to_donate_to_als_research.html | title=Take the "No Ice Bucket" Challenge | work=[[Slate]] | date=12 August 2014 | accessdate=15 August 2014 | author=Oremus, Will}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2014/06/keegan-bradley-poured-ice-wate.html | title=Keegan Bradley poured ice water over his head because Rickie Fowler told him to | work=[[Golf Digest]] | date=24 June 2014 | accessdate=15 August 2014 | author=Kerr-Dineen, Luke}}</ref>. As the challenge gained widespread popularity, it became associated with ALS charities. The original rules state that after being challenged to participate in the activity, the challenged has 24 hours to either participate and donate $10 to the ALS charity of their choice, or, if they choose not to do so, to donate $100.<ref name=stahl/> This has led some commentators to criticize it for portraying the challenge itself as preferable to donating to ALS organizations.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://time.com/3107510/ice-bucket-challenge-als-we-need-to-do-better/ | title=We Need To Do Better Than the Ice Bucket Challenge | work=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] | date=13 August 2014 | accessdate=13 August 2014 | author=Davidson, Jacob}}</ref> It has led to a significant spike in both funds raised for ALS-related organizations and awareness of ALS. Since July 29, more than 70,000 new donors have donated money to the [[ALS Association]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/als-ice-bucket-challenge.html | title=ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Takes U.S. by Storm | work=ALS Association | date=12 August 2014 | accessdate=13 August 2014}}</ref>

==Origin==
The challenge was popularized when, on July 15, 2014, 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. 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.
Mr. Quinn called upon his friends and family. Soon, his whole network was posting challenges, including family in Florida, friends in Ireland and Greece, and a bar full of locals, which was broadcast on local television. Mr. Quinn's Facebook network overlapped with Massachusetts resident and former [[Boston College]] baseball player Pete Frates, who has ALS, and began posting about it on Twitter. Frates went on to extend the challenge to some Boston athletes, who accepted it. He used the ice bucket challenge taken by Matt Lauer, which was started by Arizona women’s basketball coach Niya Butts.<ref>http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/06/college-basketball-players-dump-ice-water-on-their-heads-for-charity</ref> <ref name=usatoday/><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/making-a-difference/striking-out-als-ice-bucket-challenge-brings-flood-donations-n177896 | title=Striking Out ALS: Ice Bucket Challenge Brings Flood of Donations | work=[[NBC News]] | date=11 August 2014 | accessdate=13 August 2014 | author=Keyes, Alexa}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://online.wsj.com/articles/how-the-ice-bucket-challenge-got-its-start-1408049557 | title=How the Ice-Bucket Challenge Got Its Start | work=Wall Street Journal | date=14 August 2014 | accessdate=14 August 2014 | author=Reddy, Sumathi}}</ref>
