In April of 2018, Boyce was honored with the Pioneering Spirit Award at Thirst Project’s ninth annual gala.
According to ABC’s press page bio for The Descendants, Cameron Boyce was also a humanitarian, and was particularly outspoken for Thirst Project, a non-profit organization that provides awareness for the global water crisis.
The award was presented to him by fellow actor and friend Karan Brar as well as Descendants director and choreographer Kenny Ortega.
Last year, Boyce launched a campaign on his birthday that raised more than $27,000 to build two wells in Swaziland and continues to actively advocate on their behalf.
