[ALS Ice Bucket Challenge] The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is still going strong: $31.5 Million in Donations to The ALS Association as of yesterday. In San Angelo, Karol Allan, Program Director at Sonic Live Radio, which broadcasts to almost all of the Sonic Drive-Ins across the United States, took the challenge. See the video attached. Sure, Ive heard the complaints about how some are tired of the challenge, but there is no denying the results, and the donations are still pouring in. So, heres the challenge from Karol and from me (Paul Alexander). Either take the Ice Bucket Challenge or do a new and equally daring challenge, and THEN you can complain! Be sure to post your video with your complaint, (and make a donation to the charity of your choice, while youre at it.) - - - - - - - - - - Washington, D.C.
