💜 A heartfelt thank you to Jenelle Schatz for hosting her Annual Tulsa’s Mah Jongg for Memories Play Day at Oaks Country Club! 🀄

After losing her husband to early-onset Alzheimer’s, Jenelle turned her passion for Mah Jongg into a meaningful mission, founding this special event in 2019. Since then, she and the dedicated supporters she has inspired across the country have raised more than $1 million to advance Alzheimer’s care, support services, and critical research.

Jenelle, your resilience, generosity, and unwavering commitment continue to inspire us all. Thank you for doing what you love to help ! 🙏
