Shawn Mendes Foundation supports SickKid...
SickKids is selected by the Shawn Mendes Foundation as a recipient of one of their first two fundraising campaigns. Shawn has also established the Shawn Mendes Foundation Canada to further engage his Canadian fans and partners.
Is SickKids fundraising at malls right now?
During this time, your support of SickKids Foundation has never been more important.
SickKids has been closely monitoring the developments related to the COVID-19 situation. Health and safety for all is the top priority and we want to ensure our community is protected.
As a result, we have temporarily suspended all mall fundraising activities.
Can I volunteer with my friends and family?
Definitely! The more the merrier. We require all volunteers to complete the volunteer application form. If you’d like to volunteer together for the same event or activity, please be sure to let us know, so we can place you as a group. We will try our best to accommodate these requests, but can’t always guarantee this due to limited availability.
