I recently learned about something called The Ice Bucket Challenge. As I understand, it just means some maroon posts a video of him/herself dumping a 5-gallon bucket of ice-water over his/her head, and then challenges colleagues and clients to do the same and/or cough up some cash for a charitable cause. Then the folks who got called out get to challenge other folks, and on it goes... good clean fun.

It's a very silly thing to do, but the idea is to raise awareness for people or research that could use some help. So that's actually not silly at all.


Consider this post "fair warning", Ka-Bar reps and fans.

:)
 
I also read about it, but am confused a little. How does it raise money? Or is it intended for awareness?
 
You can solicit pledges or you can throw in $5 or $5 million to the cause of your choice or you can simply do it for fun and remind everyone you know that you care. That's entirely up to you. :)
 
I'm in! And since I don't know how to post a video, What charity are we supporting?
 
The video/challenge thread is up, here.

As a long-term user and supporter of Ka-Bar knives, I feel confident y'all can and will accept this friendly challenge in the spirit of community support and good clean fun :)
