One Week to Go Until Chi Fan for Charity, More Great Prizes and Afterparty Details
There's only a week to go before Beijing's movers and shakers descend upon 58 dining hotspots around town for fun, feasting, and fundraising for this year's CFFC recipient Bethel China.
Already have dinner plans on Saturday? That doesn't mean you have to miss out – the dinners are just the appetizer of the fun-filled evening at CFFC. The fun continues from 9.30pm onwards at the afterparty at Sanlitun's Chao Hotel.
Many of CFFC's veterans from the past 10 years fondly recall absolutely nothing about the afterparty, likely the result of free-flow beverages interfering with the formation of permanent memories. Nevertheless, you can guarantee that you'll be in good company, memories or not, with every CFFC diner entering for free as well as the afterparty-only revelers joining later in the evening. If you'd like to be one of the latter, simply scan the QR code below to help the event hit a new fundraising record and have a great time to boot:
On top of all this dining and drinking, there are also three ways to take home fabulous prizes. The Beijing community has thrown their warehouse doors wide open to shower CFFC participants with 247 different prizes, meaning that you'd have to be exceptionally unlucky to not come away with something.
First, there's the raffle – buy a ticket (hell, buy a fistful) and try your chances at the lucky draw.
You could win a deluxe party weekend with limo pickup for 10 at the Hyatt Regency Beijing Wangjing (pictured below), a four-day guided tour of Tibet for two with WildChina, or one of a dozen other lavish prizes.
Too impatient to wait for a raffle drawing? Try our instant win lottery, where a number of lucky contestants stand to such prizes as a night at The Opposite House's Studio 45, dinner vouchers from La Social, The Local, The View 3912, Mr. Shi's, or Pebbles; or a bevy of other valuable goods and services on the night.
Finally, there's the online auction. Bid via WeChat on some spectacular one-of-a-kind items such as a basketball signed by Beijing hometown hero Stephon Marbury, original artworks from Plastered 8 (one of which is pictured above), and a jersey signed by former NBA and current CBA star Jeremy Lin.
Or make a bid for a 10-person, eight-course meal at TRB Forbidden City, recently named the best restaurant on the planet by Trip Advisor users.
If that's not enough motivation, remember that the whole will benefit the blind children of Bethel! See you there, party animals.
