Creating Smiles: A Mahjong Evening Benefiting Free to Smile

Join us for an inspiring evening dedicated to Free to Smile and transforming the lives of children born with cleft lip and cleft palate conditions - this time, from the mahjong table.

Enjoy open play mahjong (all skill levels welcome - no beginner lessons, no tournament pressure), welcome cocktail, heavy appetizers, and meaningful connections as we come together to support a cause that changes lives around the world. Grab a seat at the table, work on your Bird Bam, and enter the raffle throughout the evening for a chance to win great prizes - because nothing sweetens a good discard like a shot at something shiny.

This event will be held on Friday, October 2, 2026, beginning at 5:00 p.m. at the Scioto Country Club.

Throughout the evening, you'll learn how Free to Smile's volunteer surgeons, dentists, anesthesiologists, and medical professionals are providing life-changing cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries, dental care, speech services, and hearing treatment to children in underserved communities around the world.

All proceeds - including raffle sales and event donations - will directly support Free to Smile's 2026 mission efforts, including expanded programs and new mission sites in Guatemala and Peru. Your support helps provide critical surgical and dental care to children who would otherwise go without treatment, giving them the opportunity to eat, speak, smile, and thrive.

Unable to attend? You can still make a difference. Donations are being accepted before, during, and after the event. A tax-deductible receipt will be emailed for all eligible donations.

Bring your mahjong card, bring your friends, and bring your generosity - thank you for being the change and helping to change a life, one surgery at a time.
