In 2014 NASHA performed for the first time for this amazing event that Barfoot & Thompson put together to raise funds for various upgrades to Starship Hospital and for patient needs. This is an ongoing Fundraising effort since 2003. Since then they have raised close to $4.5 million for Starship Hospital. This year we were privileged to be invited again to be part of the evening celebrations and provide our INDO KIWI mix of Bollywood and Contemporary Pop. It was a very successful event raising $26,000 by the end of the evening! Our thanks to organiser Priya Shankar for involving the band.
