MusiCares Challenge Asks Participants to Pose With Beloved Album

By now, we've all heard of and seen the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which has helped increase donations to the ALS Association, according to Forbes, by more than 3,500% over last year. But, the MusiCares organization has its own challenge going on, and it's a lot easier than getting drenched with ice cold water.

MusiCares - which provides assistance for artists and industry workers with problems such as addiction illness and homelessness - is challenging people to find a record they love, take a picture of themselves with it, donate at least $5 to the organization and finally nominate a friend.

So, if you decided to skip out on the massive ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, this is an alternative. I did the challenge and donated online at www.grammy.org/musicares/donate.
