Remember this?

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge generated over $100 million dollars and reached more than 440 million people according to Facebook.

Although it went to support a truly great cause, ALS currently afflicts only about 3,000

Canadians.

Currently, in the TCDSB we have 40% of our students living below the poverty line.

That translates to over 35,000 students.
