ChiFan For Charity takes the standard concept of a large gala dinner and throws it out the window! 10 years ago, founder Michael Crain had an idea and convinced a few restaurants in Beijing to participate in this innovative concept, using his network and friends to spread the word. From this, Chi Fan for Charity was born. ChiFan for Charity (CFFC) takes place at various renowned restaurants across Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Participating restaurants donate a table, providing a minimum of 500 RMB per person in value meal. Each table is hosted by one of the city's movers and shakers. They invite their influential network of celebrities, cross industry business professionals, managing directors, and other key opinion leaders in the community. Each guest simply pays the set price at their restaurant (500-‐1000 RMB), which covers a minimum three‐course meal, beverage pairings as well as entrance to a blow out After Party. Post-‐dinner, all hosts, guests, and sponsors unite at one location to compare stories on their wonderful meals, enjoy live music and dancing and compete in a raffle -‐ and all profits are donated to charity!
