In an effort to teach a 7-year-old boy named Malcolm the importance of improving the world around him, he was given $140 to donate to the charity of his choice.
After hearing a story on the radio about the mistreatment of gays and lesbians, he selected two charities -- the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
In a letter to the center, Malcolm wrote, "I am sending you this money because I don't think it's fair that Gay people are not treated equally."
The donation also included a note from Malcolm's mother, who challenged the center to raise $27,000 in her son's name. Center officials have launched a campaign to do just that, and they plan to send confirmation that the goal has been reached along with a "big thank you note."
