The Table That Gives Back
A Little Rock mahjong day plays for cancer patients
Organizers say every dollar raised at the tables will go to the American Cancer Society's patient support fund.
A mahjong fundraiser in Little Rock will send 100 percent of its proceeds to the American Cancer Society, according to KATV. The station reports the event is set at the Aloft Little Rock West and organized by Courtney Probst of Meghan Hospitality.
Per the report, the money is earmarked for patient support, including lodging and travel for people who have to leave home for treatment. Organizers framed the day as mahjong that matters, a table where the game raises money for the practical costs of care.
It is one more entry in a pattern The Dispatch keeps seeing this summer: American mahjong tables being set up as charity gatherings, where the draw of a shared game doubles as a way to give. We credit the cause without ranking it, and point only to what KATV reported.
