UJA Women’s Philanthropy is excited to offer players of all levels a casual evening of mahjong in support of Toronto’s vulnerable Holocaust survivors. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or brand new, there will be tables set up for everyone to enjoy—with instructors on hand for those new to the game.

 

​The majority of your registration fee will be directed to Jewish Family and Child Service (JF&CS) to purchase gift cards, enabling survivors to meet basic needs and maintain their independence.

With approximately 1,700 Holocaust survivors living in the GTA, many below the poverty line, community support is essential. UJA’s Annual Campaign supports multiple vital causes serving vulnerable populations, including JF&CS, which delivers critical services to Holocaust survivors, seniors, and others facing hardship.
