Four members of the Ball State Athletic Department accepted an ice bucket challenge from Muncie Star Press reporter Thomas St. Myer on Monday.
The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association’s recent “Ice Bucket Challenge” campaign has sparked a viral video series in which people are drenched with buckets of ice water. Though he has no personal experience with the disease, athletic director Bill Scholl was glad to accept the challenge, which is helping raise money for the ALS Association.
“It’s a great way to do something important and have a little fun too,” he said. “Anything we can do to help, it’s an honor to have that opportunity.”
Scholl was joined by Pat Quinn, Brian Hardin and Karin Lee. Scholl was the first of the group to be challenged, and in turn asked that Hardin join in the video. St. Myer was originally targeting Ball State women’s volleyball coach Steve Shondell, who had already accepted the challenge from someone else.
St. Myer got to know Scholl during his time covering the Ball State men’s basketball program. The two have since become good friends, so all it took to get Scholl on board was a text.
“I’m honored,” Scholl replied.
