Birthday Boy Delivers 100 Pizzas to Flood Victims, Inspires Others To Do The Same
"​Instead of cake and presents to celebrate his 9th birthday, Carson Boutte was inspired in a dream he had to ask for something rather unconventional of his parents: spending his gift money on pizzas for flood victims.

The boy’s parents Ross and Lanie bought 100 pies for the displaced Louisiana residents.
They also made a post on Facebook (Lanie LeJeune Boutte) asking if friends or family members wanted to contribute any additional pizzas in Carson’s honor.

​That’s when people really started pie-ing it forward.​
The social media plea spread like wildfire until dozens more orders for delivery started flooding the Dominos phone lines.
​
Inspired by the slew of compassion, the Italian eatery offered to match Carson’s 100 pizzas with their own."

I wish more mega-bux celebrities would take it upon themselves to do this...
I've always really loved his acting.
