Join event co-chairs Leigh Burns and Lane Olson for a fun and engaging mahjong fundraiser, including lunch and bubbles. Mahjong isn’t just a game of tiles and strategy — it’s a way to connect, unwind, and give back. This lively annual event supports research, advocacy, and programs that improve the lives of those affected by type 1 diabetes. Whether an experienced player or just learning, participants will enjoy an afternoon of play, community, and purpose — all while supporting breakthrough research and care for those living with Type 1 diabetes.

Tickets: Sponsorships begin at $1,500, and individual tables are $1,000.
