The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is everywhere (is there even anything else on your Facebook feed at this point?). The fundraising craze has swept Hollywood [1], too, with so many stars and even models getting in on the good cause [2]. We've narrowed down some of our favorite videos and are handing out a few awards — but really, everyone's a winner, since the chilly trend has not only raised awareness for the neurodegenerative disease but also millions of dollars for the ALS Association [3]. To get involved, go to ALSA.org [4].
