About This Event

Get ready for a dynamic evening of fun, food, and philanthropy—supporting youth financial literacy, work-readiness, and entrepreneurship in the Coulee Region.

Join us for The Portfolio Playoff, featuring Junior Achievement’s Stock Market Challenge – a high-tech simulation of the fast-paced excitement of the stock trading floor. Buckle up for an unpredictable ride through the twists and turns of the stock market – made interactive, engaging, and accessible.

How the Game Works:

  • Each team starts with $1,000,000 trading dollars to invest in fictitious stocks.
  • Every 60 seconds equals one trading day a volatile market.
  • Teams buy and sell stocks from live “traders” who instantly process transactions.
  • News Releases and Hot Stock Tips are delivered throughout the game to guide strategy.
  • After “60 days” of trading, the team with the largest portfolio wins!

What to Expect:

  • Enjoy heavy appetizers, beverages, and spirits throughout the evening.
  • Enter to win raffle prizes and unlock bonus perks like extra trading dollars and exclusive floor trader advantages.
  • 100% of proceeds directly support Junior Achievement programs in the Coulee Region.
