Adam Sandler helps raise funds to honour late actor Cameron Boyce

American actor Adam Sandler paid tribute to his late ‘Grown Ups’ co-star Cameron Boyce in a sweet and generous manner. Thirst Project CEO and co-founder Seth Maxwell told TMZ that the actor helped to raise funds nearly $15,000 from the Face - book fundraiser.

Other friends of the late actor, including fellow Disney star Skai Jackson and ‘Modern Family’ actor Nolan Gould, have also raised awareness of The Thirst Project, leading to a spike in donations. The Thirst Project aims to provide clean drinking water and wells throughout Africa.

The charity honoured Boyce with the Pioneering Spirit Award at the 9th Annual Thirst Gala last April for raising over $30,000 for the Thirst Project and helping to build two new wells in Swaziland. In his acceptance speech for the award last year, Boyce quoted Denzel Washington, who once said, “You never see a U-Haul behind a hearse.”
