What Is the USC Ice Bucket Challenge
The USC ice bucket challenge is a fundraising event where participants pour ice water over themselves and often donate to support ALS research and patient services. It is organized by USC-affiliated groups to raise awareness and funds.
Do You Have to Participate
Participation is voluntary. No student, alumni, or supporter is required to take the challenge or make a donation. The event relies on voluntary involvement, and individuals can support the cause in other ways.
How Donations and Participation Work
People who choose to participate typically record a video, nominate others, and may contribute money to the designated charity. Donations help fund research, care programs, and advocacy. For details on how funds are used, visit the ALS Association page.
