Cameron Boyce's Family Launches New Foundation In His Honor

Cameron Boyce‘s legacy will live on thanks to a new charitable foundation created to honor the late actor after his tragic and untimely death at the age of 20 earlier this month.

The Cameron Boyce Foundation will aim to provide “young people artistic and creative outlets as alternatives to violence and negativity” and to use “resources and philanthropy to positive change in the world.”

The Disney Channel star’s father, Victor Boyce, shared the announcement Monday night via Instagram, writing:

“Now is the time to make a change. Donate what you can. Encourage your friends and family to do the same. Let’s keep Cameron’s legacy alive and make a positive difference in the World. ❤️?? Link is in the Bio.”

This news comes just days after Disney announced it will make a donation in the beloved star’s name to the Thirst Project, a non-profit which helps deliver clean water to communities around the globe.

As we wrote, Cameron was regularly commended for his philanthropic efforts with the Thirst Project, and consistently raised awareness for the organization. He also spoke up about his passion for giving back, changing lives, and making the world a better place whenever he could.

So, this new charitable institution in Boyce’s name totally makes sense. The foundation’s website is already up and running, and accepting donations.

Boyce’s father also shared the news on Twitter, encouraging everyone to get involved in supporting his late son’s cause, writing:

“The Cameron Boyce Foundation.  Retweet retweet retweet!!!!!! ❤️?? Let’s not talk about it, let’s BE about it! Let’s do good as Cameron would. Let’s keep his legacy alive!”

It gives us hope and comfort to know Cameron’s altruistic vision will live on in this way.

Victor also cleared up that the money raised through the Cameron Boyce Foundation would not be going to their family, but rather to “charities that Cameron was passionate about.”

As we reported, a family spokesperson recently clarified the cause of Cameron’s death — a seizure as a result of an ongoing medical condition they have identified as epilepsy — in an official statement to ABC News:

“Cameron’s tragic passing was due to a seizure as a result of an ongoing medical condition, and that condition was epilepsy. We are still trying to navigate our way through this extremely heart wrenching time, and continue to ask for privacy so that the family, and all who knew and loved him can grieve his loss and make arrangements for his funeral—which in and of itself, is agonizing.”

As we’ve been documenting, SO MANY celebs have come forward to also share unforgettable memories and stories of their time working with Cameron.

So, so sad.

You are forever in our hearts, Cameron!
