Merry Mahjong night to benefit Laurens County Cancer Association and Pathwise
November 9, 2026
Players of every skill level can enjoy a festive evening of tiles, tapas and holiday cheer while supporting two Laurens County nonprofits at the same time.
The Laurens County Cancer Association and Pathwise, in partnership with Duke Energy, will host Merry Mahjong on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at The Lumberyard. The evening opens at 6 p.m. with a tapas bar and drinks, and games begin at 6:30 p.m.
Proceeds from the event will be shared by both organizations. The Laurens County Cancer Association provides support to local residents facing a cancer diagnosis. Pathwise, formerly known as the Laurens County Disabilities and Special Needs Board, serves individuals with disabilities and special needs throughout the county.
“Mahjong has become such a fun way for people to gather, and this event gives our community a chance to enjoy an evening together while making a real difference,” said Anna Miller, executive director of the Laurens County Cancer Association. “We are thrilled to team up with Pathwise so that every seat at the table helps two causes that touch so many families in Laurens County.”
Tara Glenn, associate director of Pathwise, said the partnership reflects the spirit of the season.
“This is what Laurens County does best, coming together to support one another,” Glenn said. “We are grateful to the Laurens County Cancer Association for inviting us to share this evening, and we can’t wait to celebrate the holidays with friends old and new around the tables.”
Organizers say no experience is required, and beginners are welcome to join seasoned players.
The cost is $50 per player and includes dinner, one raffle ticket and one drink ticket. Self Regional Healthcare is the dinner sponsor.
A cash bar will offer beer for $5 and wine for $10 per glass. Additional raffle tickets will be sold at the event for $5 each or five for $20.
Guests are encouraged to come dressed in their festive holiday best.
