JOIN US FOR GATEWAY’S MAHJONG SONATA FUNDRAISER

A play day and tournament benefitting Beautiful Minds at Gateway

Gateway is pleased to introduce The Mahjong Sonata, a new signature fundraising event supporting adults living with severe mental illness.

Inspired by Gateway’s legacy events Beautiful Music for Beautiful Minds and the Prelude Luncheon, this new gathering brings together community, connection, and friendly competition around the mahjong table – all while supporting Gateway’s mission of recovery, dignity, and hope.

Whether you are a seasoned player or simply enjoy the camaraderie of the game, gather your table and join us for one of our two offered sessions. It will be an experience filled with cracks, bams, dots, conversation, fun, and purpose.

Can’t make the event – still make an impact with a donation.

Thursday, May 7, 2026

Two sessions are offered:

Morning Session
9:00 AM – Noon, Play begins at 9:30 AM

Afternoon Session
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM, Play begins at 2:30 PM

Guests will enjoy elevated eats and drinks—including mimosas and wine—catered by Sharon Smith of On Top of the Table, along with curated swag bags and prizes.
