The Ice Bucket Challenge
What is the Ice Bucket Challenge?
The Ice Bucket Challenge was a viral fundraising campaign that raised millions for research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, in 2014. The challenge has since been reimagined by millions around the world, now focusing on mental health awareness.
Participants, just as in 2014, pour ice water over themselves, post videos of their challenge, and nominate others to join in. This initiative aims to raise awareness and promote education about mental health.
Kudos to the 27th Cayo Santa Elena Jaguar Scouts for taking up the challenge from the 37th Cayo Belmopan Phoenix Scout Group!
