ronaldo9 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I've seen a lot of these recently. How does it raise money for charity or is it an awareness thing?Kind of both. If challenged, a person has 24 hours to post a video of them doing it and challenging other people, or they're supposed to donate something like $100 to the ALS Association. Most people end up doing both the challenge and passing it along to other people for the awareness part, as well as making a donation. According to http://www.alsa.org/, "As of Monday, August 18, The ALS Association has received $15.6 million in donations compared to $1.8 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 18). These donations have come from existing donors and 307,598 new donors to The Association." So, it's been a widely successful campaign in terms of both raising money and attracting new donors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Nash Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 enough with this bucketshit. They all should do the bucketfullofcash like Carlos Estevez, that's helping right there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hope all the people dumping water on themselves are also donating!!! These millionaire celebs could donate a lot more money than saps like us who are just making a living.Think about thisI make 50,000 a year. Let's say I donate $100.What is the ratio for guys richer than I am?$100 to me is like:$10 to a guy making $500,000$1 to a guy making 5 million a year.A quarter to a guy making 20 million dollars a year.So all these celebs wanting us normal folk to donate need to empty out their own pockets first.Again - financially speaking, me donating $100 has the same effect on my financial situation as Jay Z or Beonce or Justin Bieber or Tom Cruise donating a QUARTER.Hopefully those guys are donating more than a hundred dollar bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
