It doesn’t end there – in a message that was posted a few days ago on Shawn’s Instagram page, it states:

“The Shawn Foundation and I have been working to find ways to best support COVID-19 relief efforts, and to direct our resources to where we can make a difference. We’ve made a donation to SickKids hospital this week to help support the urgent screening and prevention of COVID-19 in my hometown of Toronto. For the next month, all donations to The Shawn Mendes Foundation will go towards SickKids Hospital and relief efforts around the world by the WHO.”

In August of 2019, Shawn launched his charity through his socials.  As Billboard states, “SMF collaborated with SickKids on one of its first campaigns and ended up raising $1 million upon its Aug. 28 launch date.”
