Okay, I understand the idea and the concept.....and I don't want to sound like I'm knocking the fundraising efforts, but I have to ask.....
Wouldn't it make more sense to challenge people to make donations in whatever amount they can afford, rather than spend all the time....not to mention wasting all the water and ice....in trying to avoid making the larger donation? I don't get it.
I was challenged this weekend, and I won't be videoing myself dumping ice water on myself in order to prove anything, or to avoid making a donation.
....and before anyone snarks or calls me a Grinch, one of my best friend's father died with ALS, and I am aware, I do care, and I do donate money to the research. I just don't agree with all "the show" that surrounds what I perceive as dumping water on yourself to avoid donating the money. I don't get it.
