At a Rockstar Energy UPROAR Festival show this week, Pop Evil took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge during the group’s performance on the Rockstar Energy Drink Main Stage.
Pop Evil’s lead singer Leigh Kakaty took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge while the rest of the band followed up backstage as soon as they walked off stage. Watch the video here:
After completing the challenge, Pop Evil nominated the bands Theory of a Deadman, Five Finger Death Punch and D.M.C. (Darryl McDaniels from Run-D.M.C.).
Pop Evil's Leigh Kakaty said, "It feels good to be able to give back in more ways than just music."
Rockstar Energy UPROAR Festival producers, crew members and the bands on the tour pulled together to make personal donations of over $4000 to ALS.
Rockstar Energy UPROAR Festival producer John Oakes commented, "ALS is a terrible disease. I think the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is an amazing viral marketing effort that has driven a massive amount of awareness and additional fundraising to the ALS Association. I am happy we were able to pull together and make a donation. I encourage others to take the challenge and most importantly, donate."
