Chi Fan For Charity Raises over RMB 550,000 for EGRC, Bethel at This Year's Beijing Event
Chi Fan For Charity's Beijing event brought in over RMB 550,000 for the 2015 charity partners, pushing the annual gathering's all-time total to over RMB 4 million.
The latest total does not include Chi Fan For Charity Hong Kong, which was also held on Saturday, November 7, nor Chi Fan For Charity Shanghai, which will be held tonight, Saturday, November 14.
In all, 64 of Beijing's finest restaurants hosted more than 675 guests, with each restaurant donating a three-course meal plus wine for at least 10 participants, and each participant paying between RMB 500 to 1,500.
Proceeds will be split between Educating Girls of Rural China, and Bethel China Foundation, this year's charity partners. 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.
