As part of NZ Music Month, this event is all about celebrating great New Zealand music, raising awareness for the important work of MusicHelps and showing your support by sporting a t-shirt featuring your favourite local artist or band.
NZ Music T-Shirt Day raises funds for MusicHelps, a charity that aids the most vulnerable in our communities by supporting projects that use the power of music to help and heal. Examples include music therapy sessions, music programmes in respite and palliative care, music education programmes for the at-risk and vulnerable, and rehabilitation programmes.
MusicHelps also provides free professional counselling and emergency financial wellbeing support to Kiwi music workers. Since inception, they have positively impacted the lives of more than 90,000 people across Aotearoa.
Gather your friends, whānau and workplace, create a team, spread the message, and donate by visiting www.nzmusictshirtday.org.nz or texting MUSIC to 2448 to donate $3.
