ONEONTA – State Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, today completed the ALS “Ice Bucket” Challenge, joining thousands of Americans who have participated in the fundraising effort.

Senator Seward also made a donation to the ALS Association.

“The ALS Association does amazing work supporting people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and their families, while also funding innovative research that will one day lead to a cure for this deadly disease,” said Senator Seward. “The Ice Bucket Challenge has been a galvanizing force generating awareness and support for the excellent work performed by the ALS Association and I welcome the opportunity to take part.”

Senator Seward was challenged by Oneonta radio personality Big Chuck D’Imperio and also by the West Winfield Fire Department.

After completing the challenge, Senator Seward challenged the New York State Assemblymen who share a portion of his 51st Senate District – Marc Butler, Cliff Crouch, Gary Finch, Barbara Lifton, Pete Lopez, Bill Magee, and Claudia Tenney.

According to the ALS Association, as of Aug. 29 the association has received $100.9 million in donations compared to $2.8 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 29). For anyone interested in donating, please go to www.alsa.org and click on the DONATE tab.
