Harry Kroto Memorial Ice Bucket Challenge on Wednesday, July 16, at the Materials Research 

Once again, we are conducting the Challenge in memory of Sir Harry Kroto, who passed away from ALS on April 30, 2016. Harry was a Nobel Laureate, FSU professor and a long-time friend of many others at FSU and throughout the world. 

We have set the date for Wednesday, July 16. The tentative time is 3:30 at the Materials Research Building. 

I will pledge to donate at least $5 for everyone who participates. I encourage you to participate in the challenge and donate directly to the ALS Association at our event website

Also, please pass this along to anyone you think may be interested. Please contact me if you have any questions. 

If you are willing to participate, please contact me so I can ensure we have a bucket for you. 

Contact Frank Allen for the necessary waiver form or with any questions.
