Many people living in areas affected by the drought are feeling guilty about participating in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, so organizers in South Lake Tahoe have given it a new twist.
On Sunday, August 31 at Lakeview Commons, there will be a community wide bucket challenge to raise money for both ALS and local charities. They are asking people to bring their own 5 gallon bucket and $10. At 3 p.m. participants will stand in the water at Lakeview Commons and fill their buckets up with water and have some fun.
The local groups that donations will be collected for include Live Violence Free, Christmas Cheer and The Chris Lefteroff family.
Hope Ficklin of South Lake Tahoe started the plan for doing a bucket challenge over the water and has been gathering support on Facebook.
