Senior co-chairman for the NAIAS 2008 Carl Galeana said "It was a fantastic evening for children and a grand night for Detroit. The Barenaked Ladies performance was the first of its kind for the NAIAS and we are incredibly pleased with the results. Both performances by the Barenaked Ladies were amazing and we think they really gave our attendees a night to remember at Charity Preview."

Barenaked Ladies, made up of Ed Robertson, Steven Page, Tyler Stewart, Jim Creeggan, and Kevin Hearn, entertained crowds with famous songs like "If I Had A Million Dollars," "Pinch Me," "Brian Wilson," "The Old Apartment," the Billboard Number One Hit, "One Week" and more.
