National Winner Rosette Fundraiser
Behind every CFA title is a story—of commitment, perseverance, and an extraordinary bond between breeder, exhibitor, and cat. As the 2025–26 show season comes to an end, we gather once again to honor those involved and celebrate the achievements that make our CFA community so special, first at the Regional level and then together on the National stage.
Receiving a CFA award is a truly special honor. For generations, CFA has recognized these achievements with both National Win Trophies and Rosettes—symbols that carry deep personal meaning and lasting memory.
Last season, CFA transitioned to awarding trophies only. You spoke up, clearly and passionately, asking that National Win rosettes continue to be part of this CFA tradition. The CFA Board listened. They recognized how deeply these rosettes are valued and cherished—not just as awards, but as treasured keepsakes that capture a moment in time.
To ensure that National Win rosettes can continue this season and for years to come, CFA has established the Global National Win Rosettes Fundraiser. Your donation sends a powerful message: that rosettes matter, that this tradition deserves to be preserved, and that when difficult decisions arise, this meaningful part of our Annual National Winning Awards should remain.
$1,000 and up – Gold Rosette Pin
$500-$999 – Silver Rosette Pin
$100-$499 – Copper Rosette Pin
$25-$99 (no pin, just recognition)
In appreciation of your generosity, all donors will be recognized in the CFA National Awards Booklet, during the Awards Banquet, and on the CFA website. Donations of $100 or more will also receive a donor appreciation rosette pin designating their contribution level.
We hope you will join us in preserving this beloved CFA tradition. The deadline is approaching quickly—please click the link below and make your donation today. Together, we can ensure that the pride, beauty, and history of the National Win rosettes continue.
