Hot Seats and Cool Tables Still Available for Saturday Night's Chi Fan For Charity
There is still time and some limited spaces to participate in Saturday night's Chi Fan For Charity, one of Beijing's best annual charity events and all-around good times for a good cause.
A full 48 tables are already sold out or reserved for private sale, but no need to panic – you still have time to grab a seat at 14 remaining tables ... but act fast!
Among the options still open:
Punjabi, a great option for vegetarians looking for a table (RMB 700/person);
LMPlus in Central Park, a wine lovers' heaven (RMB 700/person);
FACTORY, a 798-based Beijing must from the creators of SALT (RMB 700);
Brasserie FLO, winner of five Outstanding the Beijinger 2015 Reader Restaurant Awards and close to the after-party (RMB 1,000/person).
Other single seats and pairs are available at a few other individual restaurants. Click here to see the full list and purchase your seats.
Set for the evening of Saturday, November 7, this annual event follows a simple formula: Restaurants donate a three-course meal with wine for a party of eight to 12, along with free admission to the after-party at Xian, featuring free-flow cocktails and live music. Each table is hosted by a community personality. Every participant pays RMB 500 to 1,500 per person, depending on the venue, with all of that money going directly to that year's charity partners.
This year's charity partners are Educating Girls of Rural China (EGRC), which has sponsored over 500 young women from poor rural regions of Western China to achieve high school and university education with 100 percent graduation rate; and Bethel China Foundation, which serves the blind and visually impaired orphaned population throughout China by providing a sustainable solution for each sponsored child.
Founded in 2009 with a mission of giving back to the Beijing community, Chi Fan for Charity (CFFC) is a modern take on the standard concept of a large, gala charity dinner. To date, Chi Fan for Charity has donated more than RMB 3,700,000 to local beneficiaries with 100 percent of table proceeds going directly to our designated charities.
