Join the Ice Bucket Challenge to Beat ALS


             It’s sweeping the nation – celebrities, athletes, regular folks, kids, everyone is accepting the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

            It even came to Glendora Village when Visiting Angels Glendora accepted a cross-country #ICEBUCKETCHALLENGE from Visiting Angels of Maryland.

            “We have had the privilege of caring for many ALS clients over the years,” noted the Glendora Visiting Angels in their Facebook post, where they also posted a YouTube video of the dousing. “We took the challenge AND we gave $100 to ALS.”

            Part of accepting the chilly challenge is to challenge other organizations, friends, family, anyone to do a dousing and raise funds for ALS research.

            Visiting Angels has challenged the ARDENT Group, Glendora City Council members and Visiting Angels Upland.

            As of Saturday, Aug. 16, more than $10 million was raised through the Ice Bucket Challenge. See www.alsa.org for more information and how to donate!
