BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL
The Third Annual These Boots Are Made for Mahjing returns on Friday, November 6 at 6:00 p.m. at Silver Street Studios at Sawyer Yards in Houston, benefiting the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center Boot Walk.
Held in loving memory of my sister, Alessandra Land, who bravely battled Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) until her passing in 2022, this special evening brings our community together to celebrate her life and legacy while raising critical funds for life-saving IBC research.
More than 300 guests will gather for an unforgettable evening of Mahjong, delicious food and beverages, exciting raffle prizes, and, most importantly, meaningful impact.
Last year, the incredible generosity of our sponsors and supporters helped us raise more than $75,000. This year, we’re aiming even higher, with a goal of $125,000 to advance life-saving IBC research.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO MAKE AN IMPACT.
There are so many ways to be part of this important mission beyond attending the event. Whether you choose to sponsor the evening, underwrite an element of the event, donate food or beverages, contribute a raffle item, or make a financial gift, your support helps us turn one special night into meaningful impact for those affected by IBC.

Together, we can honor Alessandra’s legacy and make the Third Annual These Boots Are Made for Mahjing our most meaningful night yet.
