The Last Ice Bucket Challenge Video You Need to See — and You Really Should Watch It All (Anthony Carbajal)

The Ice Bucket Challenge is the latest internet craze, involving people pouring cold water over themselves and posting their videos online.

Well-known names from Cristiano Ronaldo and Lady Gaga to Bill Gates and Jennifer Lopez have taken the plunge to raise money and awareness for the ALS Association and now it's our turn!

640,000 donors have raised $32 million USD since the program kicked-off on August 1st. (As of today the figure is $41.8 million.)

We need you and your friends this Tuesday, August 26th at 7:00 pm to take the challenge. Bring a small bucket to the new Los Muertos pier and we will coordinate the rest.
 
Costa Imagine Visual Productions and Skyvideo will be deploying their drone to capture photos and videos.

The Puerto Vallarta Fire Department along with Bajo Cero supply the ice and water.

Upon successful completion of the challenge, participants are asked to update their social media pages by using the graphics at Fight ALS and use the hashtags #icebucketchallenge and #alsicebucketchallenge to help spread awareness about the organization.

We would also like to challenge our friends in Palm Springs (California), Toronto (Canada) and Guadalajara (Mexico) and all over the world to accept the challenge.
