The “Señorita” singer is dedicated to his hometown area – not only did Shawn Mendes buy a penthouse condo in Toronto, but he also started a music therapy program at the nearby children’s hospital.

In September, People reported that Mendes had launched a music therapy program called Wonder of Music at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). He committed $1 million from the Shawn Mendes Foundation to “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.”

“SickKids is a very special place to me and my hometown of Toronto, and I’m so honored to support such an important program,” the 24-year-old said in a press release. “Music has made such a profound impact in my life and is no doubt a form of therapy to me. I can only hope the Wonder of Music Program will help SickKids patients, families, and staff benefit from its power as well.”

Mendes also launched a line of Martin guitars made with sustainable wood and recycled parts, and Martin Guitar made a contribution to Wonder of Music as part of the launch.
