My kids volley ball team just did this. They were challenged by a neighboring school's volleyball team to do it. As I understand it, or as it was explained to me, the ice bucket challenge is supposed to raise money and awareness for ALS. Why ice water? Because when you are drenched by ice water, all your muscles go rigid, stiff and tight, giving you a brief idea what it feels like to be afflicted with this terrible disease. Originally, if you were challenged, you were to donate 100 dollars to ALS research or take the ice bucket treatment. Either way the organization receives money or awareness, a win-win. Problem is, for school age kids, they don't have a lot of cash to donate but they sure can raise awareness as evidenced by this thread, so is it really a dumb thing or not??? I can't answer that but I hope people will donate to these causes once in awhile weather they're challenged or not.
