On October 30^th, 2022, the Flyball community lost an amazing competitor and contributor far too soon with the passing of Emily Getty. Our condolences are with the Getty family, her teammates, and her many friends who loved her dearly.

?

For the past 8 years Emily raced in Region 9 with Fur Fun, had previously raced in Regions 2, 4, and 15, and her presence will be missed across all our regions.? She was an incredible handler and teammate, having raced at the highest level, while always maintaining a down to earth perspective and was always a gracious and respected competitor.

?

Each and every year since CanAm II she has worked tirelessly by organizing and providing CanAm competitors the best possible awards and prizes.? She always came through, somehow finding a way to outdo the previous year. I cannot understate how much I’ve appreciated her contributions and devotion to CanAm.? I truly could not have done it without her, and I have no doubt whatsoever that my predecessors felt the same way.

?

In her memory, I am honored to announce that NAFA will rename the CanAm Multibreed Championship trophy the Emily Getty Cup. We look forward to displaying the trophy at the next CanAm. I would also like to thank both Kelly Price and Leerie Jenkins with their assistance in getting ?the trophy plaque updated so we could share with Emily before she passed.

?

Thank you,
