BATON ROUGE, La. — Benjamin Chiasson became one of the youngest and most unlikely donors to the Baton Rouge Area Foundation's First Responders Fund when he and his mother gave $2,200 to the charity this week.
The 30-year-old organization has seen a large influx of donations since July 17, when six Baton Rouge officers were attacked in the line of duty. Three officers were killed in the attack.
Upon hearing the news, Benjamin was inspired to action. He started a small lemonade stand, but no one predicted that the outcome would be so successful.
Even his mother expected he would raise a sum closer to $200 than $2,000.
"I just wanted to raise money for the officers," Benjamin told WBRZ News. "This is one thing I decided to do."
