The Ice Bucket Challenge Ten Years Later
The Internet fundraiser inspired by Pete Frates ’07 is still going strong a decade on.
This year is the tenth anniversary of the ice bucket challenge, the wildly popular ALS fundraiser inspired by Pete Frates ’07. To mark the milestone, ýapp last summer hosted the ALS Association’s CEO Soak, a fundraising event where local business and community leaders do the ice bucket challenge, which raised more than sixty thousand dollars. During her keynote address at the event, Nancy Frates ’80 recalled her son as someone who “lived a life full of love, compassion, empathy, and leadership.”
