Florida Cabinet Members to Take Part in Ice Bucket Challenge

Three members of the Florida Cabinet -- Attorney General Pam Bondi, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam and CFO Jeff Atwater -- will be taking the ice bucket challenge to help raise funds to combat ALS. In recent weeks, the ALS Association has raised more than $13 million, in part due to viral videos of people dumping buckets of ice water on their head, then challenging others to do the same.

The Florida Cabinet members will be taking the challenge on Tuesday at the Old Capitol in Tallahassee to help the Florida chapter of the ALS Association.

The ALS Association Florida Chapter is the only organization in our state solely dedicated to caring for people with Lou Gehrigs Disease, Alissa Gutirrez, a spokeswoman for the Florida chapter of the ALS Association, said. We hope people will designate the Florida chapter as their ALS charity of choice by going to www.ALSAFL.org.
