The Home Ice Bucket Challenge

The ALS ice bucket challenge has gone viral, way beyond its creator’s wildest dreams. For those of you who live under rocks, the ice bucket challenge consists of videoing yourself getting ice water dumped over your head, then nominating three other people to do the same. If you upload your video within 24 hours of being challenged, you donate $10 to help fund research for a cure for ALS. If not, you have to donate $100.

To date, the ALS Association has received $106 million in ice bucket challenge donations. Have you been challenged? We want to see your videos!

If pouring ice water over yourself is not your cup of (iced) tea, you can get your home in on the fun with ice-inspired decor. Here are some of our favorites.
