First, the Ice Bucket Challenge was originally initiated by 20 14 former baseball players of Boston College, so a lot of money went to relevant foundations in the United States. Because when they launched this activity, they initially provided the American foundation account. This activity let everyone know what a frozen person is. At that time, some people, including Bill Gates, accepted the challenge, while others did not accept the challenge, but donated $ 100.
Because this competition system was originally very interesting, it gradually became popular all over the world, including the United States, China and South Korea. However, the money donated by many people went directly to the relevant foundations in the United States, but did not benefit the domestic foundations and frozen patients.
Second, there was no good foundation of gradual freezing in China at that time, so a lot of money went to the rare disease "porcelain doll" nursing center. There are different voices in China about this matter. Some people think that the care center for rare diseases of porcelain dolls confuses porcelain dolls with people who are gradually frozen, and makes many people who don't know the real situation donate money to them.
However, the care center for rare diseases of porcelain dolls also came out to clarify that it was because they saw that the Touching Foundation was not operating well at that time, so they originally wanted to open a special donation channel for a frozen person, but they did not handle it in time. But in any case, after these diseases enter the care center for rare diseases, more people who deepen rare diseases will benefit.
Third, the ice bucket challenge is to raise money on the one hand, and to promote the gradual freezing disease on the other. Before this activity became popular, few people in China really understood what a frozen person was. Maybe some people don't even know they have this disease. And this activity makes more people know about the frozen people, and makes people pay more attention to people who may have frozen people around them. For example, a friend of ours just got the disease. Although it is still in the early stage, fortunately it was detected very early, so now everyone is very concerned about him and hopes that he can delay the deterioration of his condition.
Moreover, the ice bucket challenge has caused more medical institutions to pay attention to this disease, which has also improved the medical environment for people who are gradually frozen. So from another perspective, although the ice bucket challenge is not clearly expressed in the fund, its publicity significance is far greater than getting donations.
