In the past PDMDS organised a fundraising event 'Shake it Up For Parkinson's which provided a platform for designers like Neeta Lulla, Nivedita Saboo and Pria Kataria Puri to showcase their collection. Princess Francoise Sturdza, Smita Thackeray founder of Mukti Foundation, Sandhya Shetty, Shibani Kashyap, Sonnalli Seygall and Teena Singh supported the event and walked the ramp. Niche Entertainments was part of this grand event and organised the production and set the choreography/show direction. There were many performances including a special act put together by PDMDS. Every year PDMDS organises such activities to help spread awareness and this time around they had the Parkinson's Heroes showcase their talent on Niche Radio.
