Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort hosted a tremendous Charity Gala dedicated to raising funds for underprivileged children and families across Bali and Indonesia, benefiting the Bali Life Foundation. The special evening featured a night of fine dining and heartfelt giving on Friday, 14th November 2025. Held from 6 PM to 10 PM at the Kecak Ballroom, guests enjoyed a curated four-course dinner with free-flow beverages and wine, fundraising live auctions led by news anchor Togi Sinaga, live music by Lydia Rose Quartet and a live DJ set by Yotta (Ogust). The event included an introductory speech and inspiring success story by Mr. Piter Panjaitan, Director of Bali Life Foundation followed by a beautiful Balinese performance by the children.
With over 178 people attending, the event featured a raffle for a lucky draw and an exciting live auction with bids on prizes ranging from a night’s stay at 5-star Sofitel properties in Bangkok, Australia, and Singapore to a three-night stay in the Presidential Villa at Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort. The night culminated in the successful gathering of IDR 500,000,000 (approximately USD 30,000) in support of Bali Life Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting underprivileged children, women, and families through education, shelter, and empowerment programs across Bali.
“This evening is a beautiful reminder that true luxury is not about indulgence, but impact. At Sofitel, we believe that true hospitality extends beyond the walls of our resort. It’s about being part of the community that surrounds us and embracing our responsibility to care, to connect, and to contribute. I feel privileged to be in a position where our network and influence can spread compassion to create meaningful change for others.” said Jean-Pierre Joncas, General Manager of Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort.
