Where Fashion, Culture, Youth Leadership & Global Unity Meet

The FIFA Cultural Fashion Experience is more than a fashion show—it's a movement.

Hosted in the heart of Atlanta during one of the world's most celebrated sporting seasons, this premier cultural event brings together youth, families, designers, entrepreneurs, community leaders, athletes, entertainers, and corporate partners for an unforgettable evening celebrating diversity, creativity, leadership, and global connection.

Through fashion, performance, culture, and education, we are creating a platform where young people can confidently showcase their talents while learning the value of discipline, professionalism, leadership, and community engagement.

Why We Need Sponsors

As a community-driven production, sponsorship support directly impacts the experience provided to participating youth and families.

Your partnership helps fund:

• Youth participation scholarships
• Hair and makeup services for participants
• Educational leadership programming
• Venue and production costs
• Community outreach initiatives
• Cultural performances and entertainment
• Model and talent development opportunities
• Youth confidence-building and mentorship programs

Every sponsorship investment helps remove barriers and creates opportunities for the next generation.

Our Philanthropy Division

Giving back is at the center of everything we do.

Through the Clay Foundation and Clay Model Academy initiatives, our philanthropic efforts focus on:

• Youth confidence development
• Leadership and life skills training
• Health and wellness education
• Arts and creative expression opportunities
• Family empowerment programs
• Scholarship assistance initiatives
• Community service projects
• Access to professional development experiences

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to discover their purpose, develop their gifts, and thrive in environments that encourage excellence.

When organizations sponsor this event, they are not simply funding a production—they are investing directly into the future of our youth and communities.
