Fresh off the success of 2018’s banner Chi Fan for Charity event, the event’s organizing committee is already working to make CFFC 2019 even more spectacular.
The first step in the planning of this annual gathering of foodies across town is to select a charity recipient for the hundreds of thousands of RMB raised each year.
CFFC’s commitment is to make the selection process transparent and simple and to make sure as close to 100 percent of the money raised goes directly towards a tangible result that makes a genuine difference.

Last year’s recipients, Educating Girls of Rural China, used the RMB 400,000-plus donation they received to fund college education for young women who otherwise would not be able to afford it.
“With the great work from CFFC, we will be able to support 15 to 16 students for their four years of university,” said Candice Zhao, chairman of EGRC’s Beijing executive committee and director of operations.
