Aaron Carter’s mother is working to honor her late son with a lasting tribute.
On Tuesday, April 14, Jane Carter Schneck launched a GoFundMe to raise money for a Walk of Fame star for the late pop star who died in 2022 at the age of 34.
"The funds will cover the creation, installation, and long-term maintenance of the star," the GoFundMe page statement read. "We are coming together as fans, friends, and supporters to honor Aaron Carter’s legacy."
It continued, "Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign means just as much. Let’s come together to celebrate Aaron’s life, his music, and the lasting mark he left on so many hearts."
The statement concluded with thanking fans and patrons for their "love and support."
Cost and Deadline for the Star
To receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a celebrity must first be nominated. If selected, a fee of $85,000 must be paid. This is the goal of the GoFundMe campaign. As of publication, more than $800 has been raised.
Speaking to TMZ on Wednesday, April 15, Schneck said she plans to submit the required paperwork by May 15, which is the deadline.
