drivinghazard 2nd Gear August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 I think some of those doing it may just be for the fun of it. Did they donate any $ or do anything practical that will better the lives of those with ALS? Though I agree that there is publicity generated. And really it's a waste of water, I see some people like pouring 1 bathtub over themselves. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partagas 3rd Gear August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 Just some publicity stunt which does little for the true cause. Not different from those email spams where one reads and sends to three others. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic August 22, 2014 Author Share August 22, 2014 (edited) Just some publicity stunt which does little for the true cause. Not different from those email spams where one reads and sends to three others. Perhaps you want to read this paragraph from ST before saying it does little for the true cause. If this does not raise awareness and raise funds for the association, I don't know what does. A flood of funds - US$22.9 million from July 29 to August 19, compared with US$1.9 million for the same period in 2013 - has poured into the ALS Association, which welcomed "the incredible influx of support". "We need to be strategic in our decision-making as to how the funds will be spent so that when people look back on this event in 10 and 20 years, the Ice Bucket Challenge will be seen as a real game-changer for ALS," said association president Barbara Newhouse.

I think the original intention is good, for ALS purposes... But as the world got hold of this, it becomes a trend, just like gangnan style... everyone want to be a part of the trend, but do they actually donate?! The above flooding of funds apply to US, but for Singapore, Asean countries, did those perform actually donate? No one knows... but we only know they enjoy doing this ice-bucket thingy Anyway, if anyone is sincere in helping out in charity, don't think we need to have this kind of ice-bucket challenge. Remember of our rice charity donation organised by MCF and Towkay Ken ? All of us just donate, for charity, and we don't need to do this challenge anyway :) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 If the charity is well run, it should be able to handle the money. Think i'm just a grumpy old uncle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To raise awareness and funds for the disease. But you are right, when it comes to Asia, some people simply do it for show such as Carina Lau. Looks more like a fashion shoot then doing charity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7dSGQwtAC0 If the charity is well run, it should be able to handle the money. Think i'm just a grumpy old uncle. Whether the association is able to handle the money, it's beyond the donors' control. When NKF first started, it was with good intentions. But we only need someone like Durai to spoil the whole show.

Knoobie Supercharged August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 well.. campaign did created awareness of the illness for me. but nevertheless, people will start to dig dig dig out if it will be another NKF. source from Jose Canaura FB shared to me. Unable to show FB materials from office but basically he mentioned something of interest. Refer to page 14 http://www.alsa.org/assets/pdfs/2012-annual-report_als-association.pdf. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast1 Supersonic August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 Another stupid trend! Wonder how long it'll take before it wears thin. Of course it won't be stupid if a hot chick wearing a see-through t-shirt is getting wet. Garrn nice (.)(.)! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
