Kevin McDonald and his wife Lauren actually doused Sean with the frigid water from the trophy during his day with the Cup on Aug. 6. Sean donned Frates' old high-school baseball jersey from St. John's Prep School in Danvers, Massachusetts while he had the bath dumped over his head, then challenged three people to either dump ice-cold water over their heads or donate money to ALS research.
Frates helped spawn the challenge to help raise money and awareness for his disease in 2014, and about 17 million people did the challenge, raising more than $200 million for research, according to the Boston Bruins website.
The Bruins also did their part to help support Frates by holding an event to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the challenge in Boston on July 15. Forwards Charlie Coyle and Chris Wagner along with Hall of Fame defenseman Ray Bourque were at Copley Square to celebrate Frates, dump water over their heads and further raise awareness for ALS.
