Aaron Carter’s<\/b> mom just launched a GoFundMe<\/b> with an ambitious goal. She’s raising $85,000<\/b> to secure her late son a Hollywood Walk of Fame star<\/b>, cementing his legacy nearly four years after his death.
Jane Carter Schneck<\/b> shared a touching memory with TMZ<\/b> that inspired the campaign. When Aaron<\/b> was around 12 years old<\/b>, they strolled the Walk of Fame<\/b> together in Los Angeles. She told him confidently, “You’re going to be there someday.” Without hesitation, he replied simply, “Yeah.” It was a childhood promise she’s now determined to fulfill.
The mother recalls exploring the boulevard’s unique shops with her son, collecting memories she treasures. Those Los Angeles<\/b> moments sparked the idea to immortalize Aaron<\/b> on Hollywood’s<\/b> most iconic sidewalk as a lasting tribute.
Aaron Carter<\/b> became one of the most recognizable teen pop stars<\/b> of the late 1990s<\/b> and early 2000s<\/b>. At just nine years old<\/b>, he released his self-titled debut album in 1997<\/b>, making him an instant sensation. His brother Nick Carter<\/b>, a member of the Backstreet Boys<\/b>, helped propel him to international fame.
His biggest commercial success came with Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)<\/b>, a platinum-selling album featuring massive hits like “I Want Candy”<\/b> and the album’s title track. Aaron<\/b> also became a familiar face on television, appearing on Lizzie McGuire<\/b> and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch<\/b>. He finished in the top five on Dancing with the Stars<\/b> and toured internationally with major acts.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/b> selection committee evaluates nominees on professional achievement<\/b>, longevity<\/b> of at least five years<\/b>, community contributions<\/b>, and dedication. Jane<\/b> confirmed to TMZ<\/b> she plans to submit Aaron’s<\/b> complete application for the season’s May 15<\/b> deadline. Aaron<\/b> easily meets the longevity and achievement criteria after his massive 1990s<\/b> and 2000s<\/b> success.
“The funds will cover the creation, installation, and long-term maintenance of the star. We are coming together as fans, friends, and supporters to honor Aaron Carter’s legacy. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer.”
— Jane Carter Schneck<\/b>, Aaron’s Mother, GoFundMe Campaign
Aaron Carter<\/b> died in November 2022<\/b> at age 34<\/b> from complications involving inhaled compressed gas and alprazolam. He was discovered in his bathtub by his housekeeper. Despite personal struggles later in life, his cultural impact on Generation X<\/b> and Millennials<\/b> remains undeniable and deeply felt.
His music continues to resonate through streaming platforms and social media tributes. Younger generations discovering tracks like “I Want Candy”<\/b> and “That’s How I Beat Shaq”<\/b> recognize his infectious energy and pop culture significance. A Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/b> star would honor these contributions permanently.
The GoFundMe<\/b> currently sits at $849<\/b> of its $85,000<\/b> goal, with 25<\/b> supporters having contributed. Jane Carter Schneck<\/b> emphasized in the campaign that all funds raised go directly into a dedicated account for Walk of Fame<\/b> fees and related costs with full accountability. She’s calling on devoted fans who loved Aaron<\/b> to make donations, no matter how small. Sharing the campaign helps too, she noted.
The effort has complete backing from Aaron’s<\/b> siblings, including Nick Carter<\/b> of the Backstreet Boys<\/b>, and Angel Carter<\/b>. With the May 15<\/b> deadline approaching rapidly, the family hopes the pop community will rally to cement this childhood dream into permanent Hollywood<\/b> history before nominations close.
