Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Charity Gala Dinner

A year on from an inaugural evening that helped fund a new school in Southwest Sumba, Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort is once again turning an evening of fine dining into a force for change. The resort has announced its 2nd Annual Charity Gala Dinner, 'An Evening of Purpose & Possibility,' set to take place on 11 December 2026 in support of Bali Life Foundation. Held from 6pm to 10pm at the resort's Kecak Ballroom, the gala will bring together familiar faces from Bali's business and hospitality community alongside philanthropists, government representatives, media and influencers, all gathered for an evening that blends dining, entertainment and purposeful giving. Last year's inaugural gala, 'An Evening of Elegance & Empathy,' raised IDR 500,000,000 — around USD 30,000 — for Bali Life Foundation. Those funds went directly toward the construction of a new school in Southwest Sumba, which was officially inaugurated in July 2026. What began as a single fundraising evening has since become something far more lasting: a permanent space where children can learn and build their futures. It is that outcome the resort hopes to build on this December, bringing the community back together for a second chapter of giving. Guests attending this year's gala can expect a four-course dinner paired with free-flow wines, live music, and a live charity auction featuring luxury stays, curated experiences and exclusive items. Beyond the evening's entertainment, the gala is designed as a moment for the community to rally around a cause with tangible, lasting outcomes. Tickets are priced at IDR 1,500,000++ per person, with the full proceeds directed to Bali Life Foundation to support its ongoing programmes for children, women and families in need. Reflecting on the collaboration, Jean-Pierre Joncas, General Manager of Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort, spoke of how last year's gala demonstrated the impact of collective generosity — turning support into something as tangible as a school that will serve the community for years to come. That outcome, he noted, was what inspired the resort to continue the initiative, with hopes of bringing even more people together this year to create another chapter where purpose turns into possibility. Beyond ticket sales, businesses and brands are being invited to take part through a range of sponsorship opportunities, offering meaningful exposure alongside the chance to support a cause with real, lasting impact. As with ticket sales, all proceeds — from sponsorships to donations and auction results — will go directly toward Bali Life Foundation's ongoing work. With its first gala having already changed the trajectory of a community in Southwest Sumba, Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort's second outing carries real weight behind its theme. This December, the resort is once again betting that an evening of elegance can do more than entertain — it can build something that lasts.
