Shawn Mendes is launching a music therapy program called Wonder of Music, at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
The $1 million commitment from the Shawn Mendes Foundation will support various music therapy activities including songwriting, music education, and the creation of original pieces of music set to the sounds of a patient's heartbeat.
About the hospital, Mendes said, it’s “a very special place to me and my hometown of Toronto, and I'm so honored to support such an important program.”
