Overview

Chi Fan for Charity Shanghai will be held on November 17th, 2018 at restaurants across the city. We throw the standard charity dinner concept out of the window to bring you one of the most unique dining events of the year, with 100% of the ticket proceeds going to charity.


Restaurants across the city donate tables of ten for a personalized, multi-course meal paired with drinks. After dinner, head to the after party where you'll meet up with all the other guests to enjoy more food and drink, share stories of your meal, and dance the night away.


This year's beneficiary in both Shanghai and Beijing is Educating Rural Girls of China. ERGC's mission is to provide financial sponsorship and emotional support for women from poor, rural regions in western China to help them receive higher education. This year, we're looking to sponsor 20 women to complete two-years of vocational school. For just 6,000RMB, we'll be able to sponsor one student for a year of schooling.


Join the other movers and shakers of Shanghai and book your table to day.


Dinners start at 7PM, with the after party to follow from 9:30pm until late.


Thank you for your generosity and support!


See you on November 17th.

About Us

GOOD EATS, GOOD TIMES, GOOD CAUSES

Chi Fan for Charity (CFFC) is Shanghai's premiere charity dining event. We take the standard concept of a large gala charity dinner and throws it out the window!

WHAT IS CHI FAN FOR CHARITY?

Chi Fan for Charity (CFFC) Shanghai takes place at various renowned restaurants across the city on the same night. Participating restaurants donate a table of 10 each, providing a meal with a minimum value of 500 RMB. Each table is hosted by one of Shanghai's movers and shakers. They invite their influential network of celebrities, business professionals, managing directors, and other key opinion leaders in our community. Each guest simply pays the set price at their restaurant (500-1000RMB), which covers the three-course meal, beverage pairings as well as entrance to the official after party.


After dinner, all hosts, guests, and sponsors unite at one location to compare stories of their wonderful meals, enjoy live music and dancing, and compete in a raffle, all the while enjoying access to our open bar - with all the proceeds donated to charity.


Since 2009, the event has grown year after year, including Chi Fan for Charity events in Beijing and Hong Kong. Last year in Shanghai, 30 of the city's top restaurants donated meals to over 300 dining guests raising over 206,000 RMB. 


Now in its eighth year, Chi Fan for Charity Shanghai is set for Saturday November 17th, 2018 to support one deserving charity.

2018 CHI FAN FOR CHARITY BENEFICIARY

100% of dinner ticket sales go directly to the 2018 charity beneficiary.

 

We are proud to announce that both the Beijing and Shanghai Chi Fan for Charity events will be supporting Education Girls of Rural China (EGRC).

LEARN MORE ABOUT EDUCATING GIRLS OF RURAL CHINA

Educating Girls of Rural China's mission is to provide financial sponsorship and emotional support to young women from poor rural regions of Western China to receive higher educations. They provide further opportunities to these women who have the potential to become the future female leaders that China needs. 


EGRC will use the CFFC funds to sponsor 20 female college students for their two year vocational school education. By completion of the project, the 20 underprivileged students sponsored by CFFC will grow into independent young women to demonstrate the power of education.


With just 6,000RMB, the cost of one table, we're able to sponsor one girl to attend vocational school for a year.


We can't wait to help EGRC meet their goal.
