SHANIA TWAIN GIVES BACK THROUGH CONCERTS AND CHARITIES
CHAMPIONS FOR CHANGE
CELEBRITY MOTHERS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we’re putting the spotlight on celebrities who are not only heroes to their fans, but also to their children! These celebrity moms are supporting life-changing initiatives, raising awareness for important causes, and sparking positive change across the globe!
Country superstar Shania Twain is a mother in more ways than one! Shania Twain founded Shania Kids Can to support underprivileged children living in similar circumstances to those she faced as a child. SKC provides children with one-onone consultations, academic support, group activities, and nutritious snacks and meal programs where needed, all while in the safe, confidence-building environment of the Shania Kids Can Clubhouse. Throughout the pandemic, SKC transitioned to an online model and with kids back in school, have modified the program to be able to support the children while ensuring proper protocols are in place. “I feel luck saved me from falling through the cracks as a child and believe it’s neither wise nor fair to leave the destiny of any child to luck,” shares Shania.
In the meantime, Shania Twain is eagerly awaiting to return to her residency show, Shania Twain “Let’s Go!” The Las Vegas Residency at Zappos Theater, where $1 from every ticket purchased and 100% of merchandise proceeds go toward Shania Kids Can!

Outside of SKC, the reigning Queen of Country Pop spent time raising money for COVID-19 relief. Shania opened for Canada Together: In Concert, a five-night broadcast presented by ET Canada and the Canadian Country Music Association Foundation. All proceeds raised from the broadcast were donated equally between Food Banks Canada and the Unison Benevolent Fund, supporting Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic.
