Cynthia Gardner of American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, said Diesel's “kindness demonstrates that age does not limit kids from fundraising and making a difference in the lives of other children battling cancer at St. Jude.
After Diesel told the crowd at the Saturday fair about his plans, the first bid started at $500 and soon rose to $15,000, Sanders told the network. She said she hopes that her son, who regularly auctions animals at the fair, will continue to donate his earnings to St. Jude.
