August 25, 2014 -- This past Wednesday, Sea Cliff Mayor Bruce Kennedy douses Village Trustee Ed Lieberman with a bucket full of ice water on the Sea Cliff Beach raft.  The Mayor had endured a similar soaking the previous day and had then issued the challenge to Mr. Lieberman as a part of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that has "gone viral" since late July.  So far, the events have not only raised greater awareness of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, often called Lou Gehrig's Disease, but also nearly $80 million for research.
