As of today (Aug. 20), the challenge has resulted in $31.5 million in donations. The challenge dares those nominated to be filmed having a bucket of ice water poured over their heads, or make a donation instead (in some versions, the donation amount is decreased if the challenge is accepted and many participants have both donated and been drenched). Many celebrities have participated, raising the profile of the challenge, including [URL=http://youtu.be/XS6ysDFTbLU]Bill Gates[/URL], [URL=http://youtu.be/QFF6EWVSACE]Stephen Spielberg[/URL] and [URL=http://youtu.be/k9cJhiplS0c]George Takei[/URL]. Several space personalities have taken part, too.
