    Saw a kid at the gym yesterday who was wearing a T-Shirt that read " I support whatever's trendy "

    He must love this ice challenge thing.

    I did it already, happily it was 105 here.
    But donated to ALS most importantly.

    Really nice piece from espn how this all started. How this young man went from playing college baseball, to now he needs help doing everything. Pulls at the heart strings.

    It always cracks me up when something takes hold and all the zombies follow.

    The 2013 ALSA tax return which has since been removed from their site:

    Salaries for the leadership of the group:

    Jane H. Gilbert – President and CEO – $339,475.00
    Daniel M. Reznikov – Chief Financial Officer – $201,260.00
    Steve Gibson – Chief Public Policy Officer – $182,862.00
    Kimberly Maginnis - Chief of Care Services Officer – $160,646.00
    Lance Slaughter - Chief Chapter Relations and Development Officer – $152,692.00
    Michelle Keegan – Chief Development Officer – $178,744.00
    John Applegate – Association Finance Officer – $118.726.00
    David Moses – Director of Planned Giving – $112,509.00
    Carrie Munk – Chief Communications and Marketing Officer – $142,875.00
    Patrick Wildman – Director of Public Policy – $112,358.00
    Kathi Kromer – Director of State Advocacy – $110,661.00

    Total administration costs were just under $2 million. “Other salaries and wages” (Part IX line 7) were $3.6 million, with another half million dollars in “pension plans” and “employee benefits.” Expenses for non-employee labor were about $4 million, and “travel expenses” exceeded $1.3 million.

    So total costs for labour to run the association was around $12.5 million, from revenues received totaling $24 million.

    Over 50% of what the ALS Association receives appears to support salaries of people working for the Association, based on these tax returns.
