Nick Carter and Sister Start Mental Health Fund in Honor of Aaron

Nick Carter and his sister Angel are paying it forward by raising money for a charity.

Nick's rep is telling a different story. Nick and Angel have set up a fund where fans can donate in lieu of flowers and the money will go to a children's mental health organization.

We're told the fund benefits a group called On Our Sleeves: The movement for Children's Mental Health, and it's a cause Nick's championed for years.

Every community in America should have access to free, evidence-informed educational resources to break stigmas about child mental health and educate families and advocates.

Donations will fund educational content, lesson plans and activities for schools.

Nick's camp made a statement. Nick, Angel, and their family's commitment to helping others are helped by honoringAaron.

The story was broken by the gossip website. His body was found in the tub. The cause of death is not known at this time.
