 It seems like everyone these days is taking part in the Ice Bucket challenge for ALS. It seems to be working too— the viral media campaign has raised over  $4 million for the cause.

Many of our own Bay Area athletes got in on it, both the ice water, and the donations, from the Warriors to the 'Quakes.
