If theres one thing you can say about Nick Carter, its that hes always busy. This past weekend was no different but not in a way one would think.
Between Vegas shows on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, Nick stayed busy giving back to the community he now calls home. On Friday afternoon, he joined the rest of the Backstreet Boys at the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada. The 100+ year old organization promotes programs and services that enable young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
The Boys spoke to the young audience about the importance of hard work before the fun began singing, playing basketball and a dance off or sorts! The Boys & Girls Club wont be far from the Boys hearts while theyre in Las Vegas; $1 from each ticket sale for the shows will be donated to the organization to help continue their good work in the local community.
After playing two packed shows on Friday and Saturday night, Nick continued the goodwill on Sunday morning by joining other locals to walk alongside a family in the 40th Anniversary Candlelighters Torch Relay. Candlelights Childhood Cancer Foundation holds the annual event to honor Candlelighters families in their fight against pediatric cancer with the torch representing every childs cancer journey. Following the relay, Nick hung out with his own family and enjoyed the rest of the festivities, posting a video of Odin really enjoying the band see the video here!

Speaking of Odin, the youngest Carter quickly became the star of Friday nights BSBVegas show when Nick brought him onstage for his first onstage appearance. A resounding ran through the Axis theater as the doting dad introduced his son to everyone and became slightly emotional before handing him back to Lauren in the audience. An audience member caught the whole thing on video and if you missed it, you can catch the heartwarming moment here.
Not only is Nick focusing on helping his community, but he and wife Lauren are working hard on getting themselves in the best shape as well. The Carters just announced their newest venture - #ComebackChallenge, a 6 week health challenge, focusing on healthy eating while balancing a busy lifestyle. Want to know more? Check it out!
