The Wisconsin Coonhunter's Association is a non-profit 501(c) charitable organization devoted to supporting various local children's oriented charities, while promoting competitive coonhound sporting events throughout the state of Wisconsin. Some of our charities include Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, where we have donated $60,000 to their cause. We also provide scholarships to young people to use toward post High School education. WCHA has funded the construction of a raccoon exhibit at the N.E.W. Zoo in Green Bay and continues to maintain that exhibit each year through donations of our members.

Each spring, WCHA puts on an annual charity awards banquet, open to the public, where we take the time to appreciate those who have so gratiously chosen to donate to our worthy causes through tax deductible donations and sponsorships. A banquet style dinner is served where attendees are encouraged to participate in prize raffles, door prizes, live & silent auctions and general commeraderie. At the banquet we also crown the WCHA Nite Hunt and Show Dogs of the Year and honor our youth coonhound events program winners.

The WCHA also sponsors the Wisconsin Youth State Coonhound Championship, where kids are given the opportunity to participate in this United Kennel Club sanctioned coonhound bench show and nite hunt. The winners of these events qualify to go on and compete for the UKC Coonhound National Championships held every year in Indiana.
