The Rock ‘n Run is part of Hard Rock Hotel Bali’s commitment to giving back to the community. Over the years, the event has supported various causes, from environmental conservation to poverty alleviation and healthcare initiatives. This year’s event was no exception, with all proceeds going towards Yayasan Mental Health Bali, a local organization dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and providing support services.
The event saw a massive turnout, with participants of all ages and fitness levels taking part in the run. The atmosphere was electric, with music and entertainment adding to the excitement. The run was designed to be inclusive, with different categories and distances to accommodate participants of varying fitness levels.
Shane emphasized the importance of community involvement in supporting mental health initiatives. “Mental health is a critical issue that affects us all, either directly or indirectly. By coming together and supporting organizations like Yayasan Mental Health Bali, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most,” he said.
The Rock ‘n Run is a testament to the power of community and the impact that collective efforts can have on social causes. As the event continues to grow in popularity, it’s clear that the Rock ‘n Run will remain a significant contributor to Bali’s charity scene for years to come.
With its strong focus on community and social responsibility, the Rock ‘n Run has cemented its place as one of Bali’s most beloved charity events. As the event comes to a close, the real work begins, with the proceeds going towards supporting mental health initiatives in Bali, closed Shane. (BY OKL)
