Aaron Carter benefit concert with Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and more raises $150K

It was boy band heaven for Aaron Carter fans who wanted to honor their favorite pop star while raising money for charity… all thanks to an effort organized in part by Aaron’s older siblings, Nick and Angel Carter.

Nick, along with fellow Backstreet Boy AJ McLean, Lance Bass of NSYNC, Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, members of O-Town and LFO, all gathered at HEART in West Hollywood.

Not only did the boys perform some fan favorites, the tribute show also raised $150,000 for On Our Sleeves – a charity that works to help children facing mental and emotional health issues – with the goal of giving to every community in America access to free, evidence-based educational resources, educating families and breaking down stigmas.

We’re told 100% of the proceeds raised from the show will benefit charity.

TMZ broke the story, Nick wrote a song for Aaron shortly after his death called “Hurts to Love You” … and he performed it at Wednesday night’s benefit show.
