Hey everyone,
It's that time of year again and as we get close to the holiday season we'd like to inform all of our participants about a couple of charitable initiatives we're involved in.
Kitmas - Our friends at Soccer Snobs, Ottawa's Soccer Radio Show/Podcast, are spearheading an initiative called Kitmas to collect soccer jerseys (pro and amateur), balls, training equipment etc. for local children in need. Originating in the UK, it's a program designed to get soccer/sports gear into the hands of underprivileged youth in our community. We're excited to be a part of this cause and will be have a collection bin set up at the both RA Centre Dome and the uOttawa Lees Dome to receive donations. If you'd like to make a contribution you can also drop us an email at admin@ottawafootysevens.com and we can arrange for pickup/dropoff. If you'd like to see more about the fundraiser or contribute financially, please visit this link or drop us an email for more information. The initiative will end on December 17th in order to allow enough time to distribute the equipment.
Can/Food Drive - We will be running our annual can drive (back after Covid!) and will be accepting non-perishable food items at the RA Centre Dome and the uOttawa Lees Dome for local food banks. Keep an eye out over the holidays for charity pickup games and some other events we'll be hosting. The food drive will conclude on December 23rd.
If you have a donation that is too large or you don't have the means to drop it off, just send us an email and we can arrange for a pickup. We will be accepting donations starting today and we hope to make this another great success!
If you have any questions, just send us an email.
- Your Ottawa Footy Sevens Team
