The 'Ice Bucket Challenge' Bucket Is Now In The Smithsonian

The bucket used to kick off the "Ice Bucket Challenge" viral fundraising phenomena in the summer of 2014 is now in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. The bucket is featured alongside other fundraising tools in an exhibit dedicated to American charitable giving.
