On Saturday, August 23, Premier West Gymnastics located in Oswego, IL, participated in the ALS ice bucket challenge. The head coach for the girls’ team, Coach Diane O’Brien thought it would be a fun way for the kids to raise money for a great cause. The Oswego Fire Department came as they were supposed to “hose down” the kids for the challenge, but “mother nature” decided she would join in the fun and provided a downpour of cold rain. There were approximately 100 participants who joined together to raise over $1200 and with an additional $500 donation from the gym owners, Premier West raised over $1700. All of the collected funds were proudly presented to the ALS representative who came to watch the challenge. It was a great way for the Premier West families to show their support for ALS and now they challenge....YOU
