The Iona College community came together Thursday to raise money to find a cure for one of its most important former students.
The Ice Bucket Challenge at the New Rochelle campus is an annual tradition.
Pat Quinn, who was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease in 2013, is an Iona alumnus and the co-creator of the challenge.
There's still no cure for ALS, but Quinn is hoping for a breakthrough.
