The crowd peaked at around two hundred people, made up of members of the surfing community, media, and supporters of the Bali Kids, gathering at the Hu’u Bali at the invitation of Oakley Indonesia and Villa Mana to help raise money for a worthy cause, the needy kids of Bali, and specifically the Bali Kids non-profit organization.

At the end of the night, Billy Boen from Oakley handed a check for Rp 19,435,000 to Brenton Whittaker from Bali Kids, money collected from dinner ticket sales and the proceeds from the live auction and the silent auction thus far.
