Shawn Mendes designs merch to raise funds for Pencils Of PromiseCanadian hitmaker Shawn Mendes has designed some new merchandise that will raise money for Pencils Of Promise, which is a "for-purpose organisation founded in 2008 with the goal of increasing access to quality education for children in the developing world". Speaking about the exciting items, the 'Stitches' sensation explained: "For millions of kids around the world, education is the key to a better future. For 2 weeks, these limited-edition items are available with proceeds benefiting Pencils Of Promise! My goal is to raise $25K to build 1 school — and I know we can do it!" The pieces of clothing available for purchase range from a hoodie to a sweatshirt, to a fitted tee and to a short sleeve tee, and you can check them out here. Mendes is aiming to raise a total of $25,000 for the organisation and anyone who buys an item will be entered into a prize draw. The site says: "If you purchase a tee, sweatshirt or hoodie, you'll be automatically entered into a random drawing for a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — one lucky winner will receive 4 VIP tickets to my 2016 tour and 4 meet & greet passes! The winner will be randomly selected after the campaign ends." Follow us: @Pressparty on Twitter / Pressparty on Facebook.
