• Knowledge of professional tattoo sanitation, infection prevention and blood-borne pathogen precautions
• Strong client consultation and communication skills

5 MORE DAYS!!!

In 5 days, for the first time in forever (cue the Frozen soundtrack) FOOTBALL IS BACK IN THE OTTAWA VALLEY

📅 SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH
📍 VALOUR K-12 SCHOOL — PETAWAWA

👦 AGES 5–9: 1:30–3:30 PM
🏈 AGES 10–17: 4:30–6:30 PM

120 kids.
6 skill stations.
Speed & agility.
Throwing competitions.
🏆 Prizes.
🔥 Scrimmages.
And a BIG announcement.

But as we get closer to Sunday, there’s something I want to take a moment to recognize.

When I started the OVFFL, it was just a crazy idea.

An idea that kids in the Ottawa Valley deserved the opportunity to play football close to home.

I had a vision for what this could become, but at the beginning, that’s all it was — a vision.

These incredible people and businesses chose to believe in it.

They put their name, their reputation and their business behind a guy with an idea, and because of that support, we’re now just 5 days away from bringing that idea to life and putting on an amazing event for the kids in this community!

That means more to me than I can put into words.

⭐THANK YOU SO MUCH TO OUR OFFICIAL SPONSORS

🏈 WiseSell.Realtor - Cindy Sell, Broker Re/Max Pembroke Realty Ltd, brokerage
🏈 Steven and Julies No Frills

🤝 AND THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS

🏈 TD
🏈Petawawa Kia
🏈Barbershop Petawawa
🏈Sport Chek
🏈Pembroke Fitness Centre

Thank you for believing in me, believing in the OVFFL, and believing in what we can build for the kids and families of the Ottawa Valley.

And to everyone who has volunteered, registered, shared our posts, or simply told someone about what we’re doing — THANK YOU.

Sunday isn’t just an event.

It’s the first chapter.

5 days until we step onto that field together.

5 days until the idea becomes real.

See you there!

Come on in and sit right down we got our new chairs and its time to break em in
