You can pour ice water over your head and donate to an ALS charity, or pour ice water over your head and merely raise awareness.

It's totally harmless and has actually helped skyrocket donations. Plebes are getting irritated about hearing about it and should suckstart a pistol.

$40 is enough to buy food to last a family of 4 for a week.
$40 is enough to buy over 50 cans of food
$40 is enough to buy over 200 packs of Ramen noodles

Not trying to be a dick here, but I wouldn't have gotten zilch for the food pantry if they hadn't done those videos. 

If these guys are so awesome and want to criticize the people making these videos, then they should take some of the money they were going to spend on video games and all other sorts of non-essential crap and donate it to a charity that way other people don't have to make videos to raise awareness for donations. 

Problem solved.

Haha, you think I'm giving them the money?  Way ahead of you.  I buy the food for them and bring it to them.  It's nothing of such great value that anybody wants to trade a bottle of pills or a bag of meth for, but it will feed them.  And for once, they'll have no other option but to feed their kids too.

Corey Griffin, a philanthropist who was instrumental in making the ALS ice bucket challenge fund-raising drive go viral, has died after drowning in a diving accident off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old's life was cut tragically short on Saturday (16 August) when he dove off a wharf that serves as a popular diving perch for locals, resurfacing once before disappearing back under the water and drowning.

It raised a lot of money for a good cause, and also raised awareness; the donations are much higher than they were for ALS last year. I can't hate.

It's for a good cause but my thing is, are people really aware now or do they just want to see their favorite celebrity get drenched?  :gurl

I hate this fad so much. I really do. I'm all for charities, but turning something supposedly philanthropic into a mini-show about the donor* is kinda gross.

It reminds me of a modern day 'Hands Across America'.

Except you don't actually have to go out and interact with other human beings and feel like a community. You just sit in your own home and turn a camera on yourself,  post it on the internet and write a check.  Pretty apropos for the times.

Any details on the IWC Concussion fund? There were a lot of good people trying to do a good thing but just couldn't get over the fact that water is heavy.

Pretty much every formal charity event I've ever been to ended with sucking off the biggest donors of the year / event.

The ALS Association has raked in more than $94 million in donations from the ice bucket challenge in just under a month. Now, the organization is asking for something else: Trademarks to the phrases “ice bucket challenge” and “ALS ice bucket challenge.”

...

Two trademark applications, filed last week, claim that the ALS Association owns the phrases for the purposes of charitable giving.

A friend of mine who does high level branding strategy says they've been approached by about 15 charities to try and come up with next year's ice bucket challenge.

Well it's not like I'm a happy irl optimist, but people do have a weird perception of charity operations. (e.g. The hullabaloo post-9/11 when people found out that charities use donations to cover overhead as well as administer programs. Quelle horreur.)

I'm also a big fan of the people who don't realize that not being run for profit doesn't mean they have to actually make a profit. This was really funny during the whole "take your money out of a big for-profit bank and put it in a credit union" thing awhile back since the credit unions just loaned that money back to big for-profit banks.

I've always used credit unions. :fbm

Clarification: If you think non-profit / not-for-profit status means they don't have to actually turn a profit, you're dumb.

Massive payments to executives doesn't count as part of "profit" duh.

When I look over non-profit financial statements at the end of the year to make sure the bookkeeper didn't :ufup I always calculate the percentage of actual executive pay as a percentage of revenue and expenses to amuse myself / keep myself a bitter husk of a human being.

(In small non-profits executive pay is often allocated as being expenses related to the non-profit's expressly states purpose, i.e. program spending when in reality it's executive pay.)
