Update: Since the party, BIIH member Terry Linton has raised rmb 2,750, fellow member Thomas Garran donated rmb 1,000 and a further rmb 200 was raised in T-shirt sales. Well-done, guys!

The Beijing International Ice Hockey crew traded ice sheets for cubes on Saturday night as they held a fund-raising bash at Irish Volunteer / Hockey Bar. The event included a silent auction and personal donations on top of the sale of the annual BIIH mustache T-shirts. Add live music and lots of beverages and it was a fun night. The total for Saturday was over 39,000 mao (rmb3,900), with the guys saying T-shirts sales are still to come. Well-done, BIIH!
