Chi Fan for Charity (CFFC) is Beijing’s premier charity dining event. Chi Fan for Charity’s innovative model takes the standard concept of a large gala charity dinner and throws it out the window!

What is Chi Fan for Charity?

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.  CFFC invites some of Beijing’s best-known personalities to host a table at Beijing’s top restaurants.  Hosts invite 9 of their friends to purchase tickets at their table, with tickets ranging from RMB 500 to RMB 1,500 per person, depending on the restaurant.

Following dinner, all dinner guests and supporters are invited to an incredible after-party where people mix and mingle and talk about the amazing dinners they just experienced.  To date, Chi Fan for Charity has donated more than 4,600,000 RMB to local beneficiaries.

Now in its ninth year, Chi Fan for Charity Beijing is set for Saturday November 4th, 2017 to support the charity selected by the supporters of this event through a survey.

We are proud to announce Education In Sight will be receiving the funds from the 2017 Beijing Chi Fan for Charity! We are ecstatic to be supporting this remarkable charity. Education in Sight is a non-profit whose vision is the world where every rural, Chinses student has the eyeglasses they need to see clearly and succeed in school. They accomplish their mission by bringing the eye exams, eyeglasses, and eye care education students need directly to their classrooms. To date, they have given over 150,000 eye exams and delivered 20,000 pairs of glasses to children in need.

This year, Education in Sight seeks to work in Changning County, Yunan, a designated poor county where 80% of its 340,000 person population is considered poor, rural residents. Chi Fan for Charity’s support is essential to build a new vision center in the county hospital to increase the capacity to perform eye exams and go directly to the over 60+ schools in the county to help over 50,000 students get eye exams and an estimated 7,500 students get their first pairs of glasses.
