About this Event
A benefit tournament for The Next Page Learning Center
Gather your friends, sharpen your skills, and play for a purpose at our Mah Jongg Tournament, a community event benefiting The Next Page Learning Center.
Join fellow Mah Jongg enthusiasts for friendly competition, connection, prizes, snacks, beverages, and a few hours of fun—all in support of local children with dyslexia and other learning challenges.
Every dollar raised helps children and families in our community access vital support. The Next Page Learning Center provides individualized instruction, learning evaluations, and trusted advocacy. The organization’s donor-supported work also helps expand access to scholarship for families who need it.
Whether you are a seasoned player or newly discovering the joy of Mah Jongg, your participation gives children the opportunity to build the skills and confidence to thrive.
Learn before the tournament!
New to Mah Jongg? Returning after a break? Or simply hoping to refresh your skills before the tournament? We are offering two optional lead-up lessons with experienced local instructors.
These sessions are a great way to build confidence, review game basics, practice strategy, and meet other players before tournament day. Space is limited, so advance registration is encouraged.
