MILITARY FAMILY APPRECIATION DAY | SEPTEMBER 18, 2026
Brookstreet Hotel | Ottawa

This Military Family Appreciation Day (#MFAD), join Canadians across the country in celebrating the families who share in the demands, sacrifices and pride of military service.

On September 18, we're taking appreciation to new heights (quite literally) by boldly going Over the Edge: a powerful national declaration for the families who serve too, creating an unforgettable opportunity to show them just how much their contribution means to Canada.

And your company is giving you the chance to be part of it.

As an event partner, your company has secured an exclusive opportunity for its employees to earn a place on the rappel wall.

Your challenge?

Start a fundraiser. Rally your friends, family and colleagues. Raise as much as you can for Canada’s military families.

The top fundraiser from your company will earn the opportunity to rappel down the Brookstreet Hotel on September 18, joining participants from across the country for an unforgettable Military Family Appreciation Day.

WHERE DOES MY DONATION GO?

100% of funds raised through your campaign go directly to Together We Stand’s work supporting Canada’s military families.

Your fundraising helps TWS provide rapid, dignified support to military families when they need it most, while advancing the education, awareness and advocacy work that ensures the families who serve too are recognized, understood and supported across Canada.

From immediate assistance during times of unexpected hardship to creating greater national understanding of military family life, every dollar you raise helps us stand with the families who stand with Canada.
