Sinorock Attended Ice Bucket Challenge

ALS ice bucket challenge is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on someone’s head to promote awareness of the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS) and encourage donations to research. It went viral on social media during July-August 2014.

The challenge dares nominated participants to be filmed having a bucket of ice water pored on their heads and then nominating others to do the same. A common stipulation is that nominated participants have 24 hours to comply or forfeit by way of a charitable financial donation.

ALS ice bucket challenge spread into China in August. Many famous people participated in the activity and donated to charities. Sinorock also organized its staff to take part in it. When the activity started, there were four people entered their names for the challenge. After they challenged, they nominated other people to challenge. In one week, there were 30 people participate in the activity and 20 people donated their money.

After the activity, except the money donated by staff, Sinorock company also donated its money to China-dolls Center for Rare Disorders. Ice bucket challenge is the first step for Sinorock to fulfil the responsibility for society. In the future, Sinorck will do more things to help the people who are in trouble.

ALS ice bucket challenge will end someday, but we shouldn’t forget that the patients are still suffering from disease. We hope that more and more people can pay attention to ALS and other rare diseases. We also hope that every patient can get help.
