It went viral on social media ring July–August 2014. In the US, many people participate for the ALS Association, and in the UK, many people participate for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, although some indivials have opted to donate their money from the Ice Bucket Challenge to other organizations.The challenge encourages nominated participants to be filmed having a bucket of ice water poured on their heads and then nominating others to do the same. A common stipulation is that nominated participants have 24 hours to comply or forfeit by way of a charitable financial donation.The origins of the idea of mping cold water on one's head to raise money for charity are unclear and have been attributed to multiple sources.The most commonly accepted origin credits Pete Frates, a Bostonian who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2012.Pat Quinn, a friend of Frates who was diagnosed with ALS in 2013, is also credited with creating the challenge.From mid2013 to early 2014, a challenge of unknown origin often called the "Cold Water Challenge" became popular on social media in areas of the Northern United States. The task usually involved the option of either donating money to cancer research or having to jump into cold water.According to the Wall Street Journal, the Ice Bucket Challenge was begun by professional golfers as means to support various pet charities.One version of the challenge, which took place in Salem, Indiana as early as May 15, 2014, involved dousing participants with cold water and then donating to a charity, for example a local child diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.In another version, the Auckland Division of the Cancer Society of New Zealand was the beneficiary. As with similar challenges, it was usually filmed so footage can be shared online.The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation popularized the "Cold Water Challenge" in early 2014 to raise funds as an unsanctioned spinoff of the polar plunge most widely used by Special Olympics as a fundraiser.On May 20, 2014, the Washington Township, New Jersey fire department posted a video on * participating in the "Cold Water Challenge" with fire hoses.
