My good friends Dan Levin, Blake Stone-Banks and Andrew have organized a charity event this Saturday that will be benefiting two animal shelters in Beijing – Chang Ayi’s Place and Po Home.
Taking place in their beautiful hutong home, there will be many orphaned puppies around for people to adopt, but really just a genius tactic to get your hearts to melt and your fat wallets emptied.
Happening from 7PM-midnight, there will be food, booze, silent auction, surprise performances and even some celebrities present!

About Po Home
Founded in 2007 by a group of friends, Po Home recently built a shelter in south Beijing that can care for 50 dogs and two dozen cats at one time. Run by a corps of young volunteers, the organization not only rescues stray dogs and cats from the streets but also saves animals from meat markets. The volunteers work hard to find loving homes for the dogs and cats and to educate the public treating animals responsibly, and with kindness.

About Chang Ayi’s Place
Chang Ayi’s Place is an emergency shelter created by Chang Shuzhen on the outskirts of northern Beijing. Chang Ayi, 53, has been taking in stray and abused animals for eight years and until now, has received no outside assistance. Your donations will help volunteers convert her primitive shelter into a safe place for the 80 cats and dogs in her courtyard that have no protection from the elements.
