The Löw Key Events Annual Mental Health Comedy Fundraiser has always been a highlight — but this year hit different. This year, the fundraiser supported UP&UP’s First Sessions Fund, and we’re honestly overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who helped make it happen.
An incredible group of people came together to pull this off. Sponsors, donors, comedians, partners, and a room full of attendees showed up with so much energy and support. Seeing Full Beard packed — laughing, connecting, and backing early mental health access in Timmins — was a reminder of exactly why we started this whole thing.
Thanks to your generosity, we’re this close to launching the First Sessions Fund — a program built to cover first therapy sessions for adults who can’t afford to get started. That first appointment can change everything, and last night helped make more of those appointments possible.
To Löw Key: thank you for having us as this year’s beneficiary and for building a night that actually gets people talking. Creating spaces where mental health can be discussed openly, honestly, and with some humour is how stigma gets chipped away.
To the sponsors and donors for this event: your contributions directly impact people in our community. Thank you for believing in this initiative. Special shoutout to Discovery Mining Ltd., Northern Harbour Healing Centre, Bliss Beauty + Wellness, No Frills, Holiday Inn Express & Suites, and Boston Pizza for backing this as sponsors.
To everyone who bought a ticket, shared the event, donated, or showed up: you’re helping us open the door to mental health care for someone who needs it. Donations can still be made through our website at www.upandupmentalhealth.ca
We’re excited to share more soon as we move toward launching the fund in November. Timmins showed up last night… and we’re so grateful.
UP&UP is just getting started. Thanks for giving us an epic beginning.
