THE 2026 ACFA INTER-AMERICAN AWARD SPONSORSHIP DRIVE OPENS TONIGHT!

For our exhibitors, breeders, judges, clubs, and friends of ACFA, tonight marks the beginning of one of the most important fundraising efforts of the year.

Each year, our Inter-American Awards celebrate the dedication, hard work, and achievements of the cats and people who make ACFA special. These beautiful awards don't happen on their own—they are made possible through the generosity of sponsors like you.

As a nonprofit organization, every sponsorship dollar goes directly toward helping offset the cost of these prestigious awards. Your support allows us to continue recognizing excellence while keeping our association strong and financially healthy.

Whether you're sponsoring in honor of a favorite cat, a cherished friend, your cattery, your club, or simply because you believe in ACFA's future, your contribution makes a difference.
· Every sponsorship counts.
· Every supporter matters.
· Every award tells a story.

Join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our exhibitors and ensuring that ACFA can continue honoring excellence for years to come.

We've made sponsoring easier than ever! Simply visit the online sponsorship form, browse the available awards, and select the one you'd like to sponsor.

The sponsorship drive officially OPENS at 6pm cst TODAY – JUNE 24th, 2026!

Thank you for supporting ACFA and helping us recognize the very best in our association.
