Diego Boneta: Variety's Power of Youth 2012

Diego Boneta hops on stage with his fellow honorees at Variety‘s 2012 Power of Youth held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon (September 15).

The 21-year-old actor joined Vanessa Hudgens, Sarah Hyland, Kat Graham, Jordin Sparks and The Jonas Brothers inside the ceremony.

Diego, honored for his work with the Vannie E. Cook Jr. Children’s Cancer and Hematology Clinic, shared with Variety, “The Rio Grande Valley has special meaning to me because it’s where my mom grew up.”

He added, “When I was younger, I spent many of my summer holidays and Christmases there. I also still have family living there, so I have a real personal connection to the place — that and the fact that I’ve always loved kids made working with the clinic a great opportunity.”
