Food rescue organisation, Scholars of Sustenance (SOS) Indonesia, is hosting a fundraising charity dinner on Friday, 8 September 2023 at W Bali Seminyak’s Starfish Bloo. This superb dining event will feature four of Bali’s top Indonesian chefs, great entertainment and of course plenty of fundraising opportunities.
Founded in 2017, SOS Indonesia began their operations, rescuing surplus food from restaurants across the island and redistributing it to greater communities in need. Tackling two issues at once — i.e. food waste and nourishment for disadvantaged peoples — SOS has served more than 29 million meals — which equates to 6 billion kilograms of food over 6 years.
This impactful organisation is thus hosting a charity dinner to raise funds that will help them continue and expand their operations.
‘Rescue & Rejoice: A Sustainable Feast for a Greener Future’ will be hosted at the luxurious beachfront restaurant of the W Bali – Seminyak, Starfish Bloo. This event is being held in conjunction with Disciples Escoffier Indonesia, a non-profit association dedicated to the culinary arts and transmission of knowledge.
Dinner will feature a Four-Course Dinner created by four highly-celebrated Indonesian Chefs from Bali’s top establishments: Chef Adriel (W Bali Seminyak), Chef Agung Gede Agung (St Regis Bali), Chef Bayu Retno (Mandapa, A Ritz Carlton Reserve), Chef Dayu (Apéritif Restaurant). Each chef will prepare their own course to create a superb dining experience for all.
The fundraising evening starts with a cocktails and canapés hour at the beachside of Starfish Bloo at 6pm, featuring cocktails and beverages from supporting local brands Hatten Wines, East Indies Gin, Nusantara Cold Brew, Balian Water, Arak Bumbung, Terra Water and Verve Catering.
Throughout the evening’s dinner, guests will enjoy a range of entertainment, including the music of UniSoul Band, DJ Tina Colada, and a special traditional dance performance by YKPA – Yayasan Kasih Peduli Anak– , an orphanage for young and teenage street children, many who are handicapped, supporting their health and education. Opening remarks will be made by Chef Chris Salans, owner of Mozaic Restaurant in Ubud and President of Disciples Escoffier Indonesia in Bali.
The major fundraising activities of the evening includes live and silent auction, with over 50 attractive hotel, villa, dining, and leisure activities to bid on. 100% of all proceeds from the dinner and auction, wholly benefit the SOS Indonesia.
