Baker, Polito to participate in round two of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Buckets at the State House will be filled with ice water on Monday. Gov. Charlie Baker, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, and members of their administration will be doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, according to a release from the governor’s office.

Pete Frates and his family will join Baker on the steps of the State House for the challenge.
“Last summer, Pete Frates inspired millions of people around the country and the world—including Lauren and I—to participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise awareness and critical ALS research funding,’’ said Gov. Baker in a statement. “It is our pleasure to host Pete and his family at the State House on Monday as we continue to fight for a cure.’’
