Donate to Save ACSEF
After this 2024 fair we will be out of funds.
As a Non profit 501(C)(3) public charity donations from the public are our life-line and we have very few to date.
Tax ID 45-1800245 - 100% tax deductable donations
ACSEF needs a company or business to become our title sponsor! 2 years without a Title Sponsor has been very difficult.
Picture YOUR COMPANY NAME HERE followed by ACSEF on every email, flyer, award ribbon, press release...etc.
