Class Activity: Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Students

Eaton RESA Career Preparation Center hosted a class activity with students, instructors and staff. On Tuesday, September 16, students from the Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement class participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge at LCC West Campus. Students joined the Lansing Community College Police and Fire Academy students to support ALS. 

What is the' Ice Bucket Challenge'?

The Ice Bucket Challenge is to promote the awareness of the disease called ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

During the Ice Bucket Challenge, someone has a bucket of ice water dumped on their head. One of our Criminal Justice students participated in the event to honor her uncle who was a Firefighter for 13 years but passed away earlier this year from ALS. It was a special event and we were honored to show our support.

Donation Results of our ALS Ice Bucket Challenge:

Lansing Community College has posted the final donation results:

National Fallen Firefighters Foundation: $80
Local Fallen Law Enforcement Foundation: $60
