Shawn Mendes teaming with Disney+ on Wonder Grants initiative
08 July 2022
Shawn Mendes is partnering with Disney+ on his upcoming tour.
The Call My Friends singer told fans on Twitter on Thursday that his Wonder: The World Tour would be sponsored by the entertainment giant.
"Thank you for an incredible start of tour. Excited to have @disneyplus as a tour sponsor/ work with them to grant wishes by visiting US children's hospitals," Shawn tweeted. "@shawnfoundation & i will also be giving grants to youth changemakers in every NA (North American) market/ donating $1 per ticket in support."
Shawn launched the Wonder Grants programme through his Shawn Foundation in 2020, and announced last month that his Wonder: World Tour would be accompanied by children's hospital visits across the United States.
The project seeks to grant "wishes" to patients, as well as provide financial grants to youth changemakers in children's health across the United States and Canada.
One dollar from each Wonder tour concert ticket will go toward the programme.
