Over 400 Columbia Students Participate in Ice Bucket Challenge
More than 400 Columbia Business School’s incoming students took part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Friday evening at the conclusion of their first week of orientation.
“I thought it was an amazing way of showing support and I love how this community came together to support the ALS community,” Sarah Zilinski ’16 said.
ALS, a fatal neurological disorder also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects more than 30,000 people in the United States, and 5,600 new cases are diagnosed every year. The viral Ice Bucket Challenge is just one part of the fight against the disease.
