'Damn, Daniel' kid makes a new kind of fashion statement with charity work
We love a meme with a happy ending.
Daniel Lara, the California teen who became the talk of the Internet with the "Damn, Daniel" meme, has been through a lot since his white Vans went viral. He's experienced fame, inspired tattoos, starred in a Weezer video -- he even won a lifetime supply of white Vans on Ellen.
But last weekend, Daniel was ready to give back. So he and his friend Josh Holz -- who filmed the original video -- headed to Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, where they handed out Vans to patients.

Lara even discussed his experience on Twitter -- the very birthplace of the "Damn, Daniel" meme. "Thank you so much @LLChildrensHosp," he wrote. "So happy we were able to donate Vans to our new friends!"
