New Britain legislators took part in the ice bucket challenge – a highly successful fundraising effort that has swept throughout social media and raised $94.3 million for the ALS Association since it began in July.
Representatives Lopes, Tercyak, and Sanchez and Senator Terry Gerratana took the "Ice Bucket Challenge" at the Hospital for Special Care in New Britain and made donations to support ALS treatment. The Hospital for Special Care is home to the largest ALS treatment program in Connecticut.
