Can someone explain what the ice bucket challenge exactly does?

So i know it's to raise awareness for people with ALS, but the challenge says if you don't do the challenge you have to donate $100...Wouldn't the $100 be more helpful than the actual challenge itself..I don't get it..

The challenge is to raise awareness for ALS. If you get nominated you can either poor ice cold water on yourself AND donate $10 or pay $100. Most people forget about the $10 you are obligated to pay if you dump water in yourself. The foundation needs to get money somehow.

Not everyone can afford $100...plus it is the aspect of being a part in this fundraiser that also adds to its popularity.
