IceBucketChallenge

Half of the world has been consumed by a flash mob that began in the USA called "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge." The challenged person has to pour a bucket of ice-cold water onto himself / herself, and pass on the challenge to three other "lucky" people. Those participating in the challenge have 24 hours to film a video response. Besides making the video, they donate $10 to the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, research. Those who do not participate after being challenged, donate $100. 

In the USA and Europe, this flash mob was aimed at the ALS research, but in several countries, the Ice Bucket Challenge became a support to other charities. In Ukraine, considering the events in the East, the #icebucketchallenge donations to towards support for the Ukrainian army. 

Grossum has been challenged by Playtika Kiev IT company and we, in turn, pass it on to SDL, Nster, and Se7evSky.
