The 21 Best Celebrity Ice Bucket Challenges

Updated on 8/22/2014 at 5:08 PM

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, too, with so many stars and even models getting in on the good cause. 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. To get involved, go to ALSA.org.
