Since 2009, the Simple Plan Foundation has offered its support to sick children and teens at the Children’s throughout their battle with disease, particularly through a focus on music and its benefits. In addition to purchasing audiovisual equipment and musical instruments, the Foundation also helps fund the music therapy program, the Teen Lounge and contributes to activities that get our patients feeling the beat of the music.

Because the band recognizes the importance of mental health in children’s care, several of the Simple Plan Foundation’s projects centre on youths in pediatric psychiatry. Through these projects, the Foundation participates in the wellbeing and recovery of our young patients, for which we’re thankful.
