International Branded Hotels Shanghai (IBHS) has donated RMB225,000 (around US$32,000) to the Shanghai Charity Foundation. The cheque was presented by William Hall, Chairman of IBHS, (on the left of the photo) at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University on March 21. The money will be used to help children with congenital heart disease who are treated at the hospital.

IBHS currently has 60 members which are all four- and five-star hotels in Shanghai. William Hall said the hotels work with various charities individually or under a group banner. IBHS plans to hold several fundraising events in 2008; the major one being the Annual Charity Golf Tournament in June which will run for its fifth year in a row.

The Internationally Branded Hotels of Shanghai (IBHS) are holding their fourth Charity Golf Tournament at Shanghai West Golf Club on June 1. IBHS is a group of 53 four- and five-star hotels in Shanghai who promote Shanghai as a destination and it is part of the Shanghai Hotel Industry Association.

Last year, the tournament raised RMB 160,000 for the Shanghai Charity Association and this year it has a target of RMB 200,000, says IBHS Chairman William Hall. “The tournament has been a great success over the last three years and is a major charity fund raiser for the association”.

This year, the event has attracted major sponsors such as Shanghai General Motors who are providing a Buick LaCrosse for a hole in one.
