🧊 DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE IN 2014? 🧊
It was everywhere. Friends, family members, celebrities, and communities across the country were dumping buckets of ice water over their heads and challenging others to do the same.
But behind the fun was an important mission: raising awareness and funds for ALS.
On Thursday, September 3rd, the Beverly Rotary Club is honored to welcome Nancy Frates, mother of the late Pete Frates, as our featured speaker for Discover Rotary Day.
Pete’s battle with ALS and the Frates family’s determination to fight this devastating disease helped turn the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge into a worldwide phenomenon in 2014, raising millions of dollars and forever changing ALS awareness and research.
Come hear Nancy share Pete’s incredible story, the impact of the Ice Bucket Challenge, and how one family helped inspire a global movement.

🕛 12:00–1:30 PM
📍 Danversport
