That's a fun and meaningful challenge. Hopefully we will hear a response from Nick soon. Either take the challenge or donate $100.

Or both.  Some of the Bach producers partook.  Great to see Bach Nation supporting "causes".  

Speaking of charity, the company Nick works for, Salesforce:

"He (Marc Benioff - founder) created a new approach to philanthropy. Benioff came up with  an idea that has generated millions of dollars for charitable causes from hundreds of tech companies. It's called the 1-1-1 model. Startups vow to donate 1% of their equity, 1% of their products and 1% of their employees' time to charity. As these startups grow, the charitable giving grows, too. Companies from Google to Box have adopted it. His company's philanthropy arm, the Salesforce.com Foundation, has about a $20 million a year annual budget."

Employees are given 6 paid days off a year for charity work.  What a great concept!    Since Nick's appearance for breast cancer isn't a weekday it wouldn't apply to the model however I just really admire how his company makes philanthropy a part of the work mindset. Apparently, new employees do a charity act their first day on the job. What a great way to initiate new staff!

I think it's great Nick works for such a great company. I am glad that he has returned to life as usual and does not appear to be seeking additional fame on tv unlike other people....

How does this work exactly? I know my niece in Europe did it, but I couldn't fully understand her post because I don't know the language well enough.

Love it or hate it, it's for a good cause. Some people left not so nice messages on his SM. This is from Elan:

NICK IS IT ANNOYING AT ALL THAT EVERYONE IS TURNING AN ADVERTISEMENT INTO A POLITICAL STATEMENT? IT'S LIKE THEYRE YELLING AT A TV COMMERCIAL

I took this challenge. Basically you either post a video of yourself being doused by a bucket full or ice as a way to raise awareness for ALS research and/or donate $100 to the cause. Then you challenge three additional people to do the same.

I just read on twitter that Marquel did so, and challenged Whoopi Goldberg

    Good for Elan too!  Something is wrong with those few people who are snipping on a fundraiser ad for breast cancer. Really?    So petty.
The woman who the fundraiser is for likely saw the ad before Nick posted it.  Just saying.

Most of the comments are positive. Regardless, it's at a bar near a campus. Lots of 20-something's are tagging each other about going.  The ad seems to be hitting the right demographic for this event.  Hope guys show up too as they are often "detectors" of breast cancer in their partners.

Hope it draws a sellout crowd and that she is able to have a high percentage of her treatment covered.     Great cause.  Would be nice if Nick also did something about breast cancer in men as he is very articulate and could be a good spokesman for awareness.  It isn't talked about enough and as we know, Nick isn't shy when he feels something is worth saying.

Thanks.

Maybe people should be make more ALS awareness statements on their videos.

Of course, I would send the $100. Because that would do more for the cause, IMHO. But it takes both to make the world go round.
