#Chillin4Charity

Two weeks ago, Arizona women's basketball issued a challenge to Pac-12 Coaches and Players to take part in a Cold Water Challenge to benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. This is how it all started:

Lindsay Gottlieb and several of her players were called out and took their dousing together last week:

Lindsay called out Tara, assistant coach Kai Felton called out Amy and Brittany Boyd called out Amber. Here's the Nerd Nation dousing:

I assume that Tara stepped up to the challenge by donating to the Kay Yow fund, as Kelly Graves did (or so he intended), and that Amber donated community hours. Or perhaps they took their dousing separately with videos that haven't been published yet.

Now in its third week, the challenge has spread across the nation and beyond women's college basketball. There are now about 11,800 #chillin4charity videos on YouTube. Here are links to some videos that have a Cardinal connection:
