The "Ice Bucket Challenge" for ALS has been picking up steam for weeks now.
According to TIME Magazine, the Ice Bucket Challenge has raised "$5.5 million dollars for Lou Gehrig's disease since July 29th, compared to $32,000 in the same period last year."
It started picking up steam on the east coast, with teams such as the Boston College Eagles, Boston Bruins and the New England Patriots.
It spread to the west coast last week, when USC athletic director Pat Haden and head coach Steve Sarkisian joined in on the fun.
And now it has gone viral. We've compiled some of our favorites from our Los Angeles teams and athletes.
Check them out below.
