I’m An Angel charity auction and gala dinner
Diaries at the ready! Bali’s annual ‘I’m An Angel Charity Auction and Gala Dinner’ will be held on 18th June this year, as opposed to its normal slot in August. Now in its ninth year, this popular event has become a firm fixture on Bali’s social calendar. Giving local and international businesses the opportunity to get together and give back to Bali. This year’s prizes and auction donations include two-night stays at The Istana, Villa Kubu, Pushpapuri, Hansa and Belong Dua and much, much more.
‘I’m An Angel’ is a Bali-based non-profit foundation created in 2003 by a few determined individuals to provide sustainable development for communities challenged by resource scarcity and limited economic potential. The charity works alongside local communities to improve access to health facilities, provide clothing, school equipment and education (especially health education to help stop the growth of sexually transmitted disease, which has become a growing concern in Bali), and to improve rural infrastructures.
Over the years, the ‘I’m An Angel Annual Charity Auction’ has been successful in driving fundraising up from US$20,000 in 2003 to US$97,000 in 2010, benefitting over 24,000 underprivileged Balinese women and children as a result. Funded programmes ultimately aim to empower local communities to work together to find solutions to the problems they face and help them to guide themselves out of poverty.
This year, the event – due to be held on Saturday 18th June at Ku De Ta – hopes to go even further and, with the sustained support of dedicated fundraisers, build on its previous success. A sumptuous six course dinner – prepared by no less than six internationally renowned chefs – will be served and fantastic prizes and auction items will be up for grabs. So start saving and book a table early to make sure you don’t miss your chance to give something back to this very special island!
