It's no surprise celebs have jumped on the bandwagon as well. I wonder how much of their millions they have donated in the past ? Probably not much if any...

say what you will. This campaign, in a VERY short amount of time has brought in over 15 million for a good cause.
Things like this are good. A VERY, VERY small number of people donate any kind of meaningful amount to charity. If someone is making 50k a year and has a family to support, donating decent sums of cash to help others isn't an option. Fun, kookie things like this go viral and get people who otherwise wouldn't think of donating to charity to give 10 or 20 bucks.
The cleb thing, ya, who knows if they give, but when celebs dump a bucket of ice on their heads, whether the give or not (Id HOPE they do) it just makes it spread around faster, goes more viral and more regular people who are the ones donation the VAST majority of the money, end up seeing it.
