The Up the Down Market Dinners are the Foundation's single most important fundraising event each year and take place across the country in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto. Innovative in nature, wide in scope, and entertaining in practice, the events have to date raised directly over $3 million and much more indirectly.

The Up The Down Market game simulates the stock market and is an exciting and entertaining evening. Participants begin with $1,000,000 in their accounts and buy and sell shares in fictitious companies. Tables compete to see who can make the most by the end of the evening without going broke. The winning table gets bragging rights and the prestigious Up The Down Market Dinner trophy until the next Dinner.
