Get ready for a fun, social twist on a classic game while making a meaningful impact at the Mahjong for a Mission event hosted by the National Children\u2019s Advocacy Center in Huntsville, Alabama \u2014 where friendship, strategy, and community purpose come together! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Galentine\u2019s-style brunch and fundraiser takes place Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. inviting players of all levels to spend the day over three spirited games of American-style Mahjong surrounded by friends, mimosas, delicious brunch fare and good company, all while supporting a cause that strengthens services for children impacted by abuse. Participants are encouraged to register and reserve a table in advance, with a range of ticket and sponsorship opportunities, and should bring their own Mahjong set \u2014 though mats and lamps will be provided (and NCAC can help supply a set if needed upon request). Expect lively rounds of tile play, plenty of laughs, friendly competition, unique prizes, and the chance to connect with fellow Mah Jongg lovers in a bright, welcoming atmosphere \u2014 all for a heartfelt cause that benefits kids and families across North Alabama and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":413837,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"event_listing_category":[185],"event_listing_type":[173],"class_list":["post-413836","event_listing","type-event_listing","status-expired","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_listing_category-charity-causes","event_listing_type-game-or-competition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMahjong for a Mission -
