Sport Officials Surrendered (S.O.S) is excited to announce that we have partnered with Ref Life to be the official clothing brand of REF Conference.
Ref Life creates “premium athletic apparel for every official in all elite sports.” As per the partnership, Ref Life will have a presence and will have gear available for sale at REF (Referees Embracing Faith) Conference 2019 as well as other S.O.S functions.
Founded by Tanesha Wilkins and Ken Wappes, Ref Life is faith-based and was hatched out of inspiration from the words of Ephesians 6:11, which says to put on the full armor of God and stand firm.
S.O.S co-founder Dan DiFolco had this to say:
“We are very pleased to partner with Ref Life. With their clothing geared towards officials of faith, Ref Life shares our passion to help officials share and express their faith through officiating.”
Ref Life and S.O.S had their first conversations at REF Conference 2018, and Ref Life co-founder Ken Wappes said that there was an immediate connection.
“Upon meeting Dan and Alicia at the inaugural REF Conference, it was glaringly obvious that we would develop a long-lasting relationship with S.O.S,” Wappes said. “We believe in what S.O.S is doing, and look forward to the day we stand with 10,000 sports officials embracing faith at REF Conference,” he said.
