Recently, the Sheraton Manila Hotel Ballroom became a stage for meaningful celebration as The Charity Dinner Soirée united arts, flavors and purpose in one transformative evening.

Orchestrated by the Marriott Worldwide Business Councils Philippines and Newport World Resorts, together with Rotary District 3800, the event gathered hospitality leaders, artists, and change-makers to raise funds and awareness for Save the Children Philippines, Plastic Bank and the Marriott Philippines Associates Welfare and Recovery Fund.

“This night went far beyond the traditional charity dinner,” said Dottie Wurgler, chair of the Marriott Worldwide Business Councils Philippines. “It was a confluence of purpose and creativity, made possible by the collective generosity of our partners and guests.”

Upon arrival, a curated art exhibit by Celeste Lecaroz and Larni Castro Policarpio, in partnership with Rotary Club Passport One and One Gallery welcomed the guests. A total of four art pieces from Lecaroz and Policarpio were raffled to lucky patrons along with five pieces limited prints by BenCab Museum from the collection of Alice Eduardo.
