Did you hear that today is officially Pete Frates Day in Boston? We're so proud of this Boston College alum, the catalyst behind the Ice Bucket Challenge that's raised more than $220 million for ALS research since 2014.

The honor coincides with today's release of the new book "The Ice Bucket Challenge: Pete Frates and the Fight against ALS," written by The New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman and acclaimed journalist Dave Wedge, also both BC alumni.
