Viral Ice Bucket Challenge Makes A Comeback, This Time For Mental Health

Viral Ice Bucket Challenge Makes A Comeback, This Time For Mental Health
SHARE

The Ice Bucket Challenge, a viral sensation that took social media by storm in 2014, is making a comeback in 2025 with a new cause – raising awareness and funds for mental health. The original challenge, which aimed to raise awareness for ALS, was a massive success, raising over $220 million in donations. Now, students from the University of South Carolina’s MIND (Mental Illness Needs Discussion) club have launched their own version of the challenge, called the Speak Your Mind Ice Bucket Challenge.

The Speak Your Mind Ice Bucket Challenge supports Active Minds, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that focuses on empowering youth and young adults to support their peers struggling with mental health issues. The challenge has already raised over $190,000 for the organization, with funds continuing to pour in.

Participants in the Speak Your Mind Ice Bucket Challenge follow the same format as the original challenge – they dump ice water on their heads on camera, make a donation to research, and nominate others to do the same. High-profile participants in this year’s challenge include former NFL quarterback Eli Manning and hosts from the Today Show.

The Ice Bucket Challenge has always been a fun and communal way to raise awareness and funds for important causes. Last year, on the 10th anniversary of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the ALS Association reported that funds raised from the challenge had enabled key research findings in the fight against ALS.

The MIND club’s Ice Bucket Challenge aims to spark conversations about mental health and break the stigma surrounding it. By participating in the challenge, individuals are showing their support for those struggling with mental health issues and helping to transform the way these conditions are viewed and addressed.

Overall, the resurgence of the Ice Bucket Challenge in support of mental health is a testament to the power of social media in driving positive change and raising awareness for important causes. As the challenge continues to gain momentum, it is clear that its impact will be felt far and wide in the fight for mental health awareness and support.
