ROXBURY, Mass. – The Boston Celtics, in partnership with Chipotle and New England Baptist Hospital, hosted the inaugural Jr. Celtics Kickoff event Saturday with more than 200 youth from various YMCAs and Boston Centers for Youth and Families. The event brought youth from various backgrounds together to play the game of basketball, but more importantly get to know each other.

Upon arriving, each kid received a participation gift pack that included a cinch bag, water bottle, New England Baptist Hospital bone pens and T-shirt. Participants were then divided up into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with teams playing four games. Whistles were blowing, sneakers were screeching and coaches were instructing as the day progressed.

Namify’s own Paul Shin worked out the deal with the Boston Celtics to provide the NBA Championship team with the shirts and jerseys for this great event. The Celtics were very happy with Namify’s exceptional customer service and products and Paul hopes to continue working with them in the future for all of their Namifying needs!

The Springville Area Chamber of Commerce held its annual installation and awards banquet on January 18th and presented Namify™ with the Business of the Year award. According to chamber executive director Bob Shearer, those chosen for the annual awards were certainly deserving of the honor. “Namify™ is a leading-edge company not only doing great things for our community but also for the economy.” Criteria for selection as Business of theYear by the Chamber of Commerce included a clear demonstration of leadership, sound business practices, community involvement and a strong trend of performance and sustained growth. CEO Christopher Jensen was there to accept the award on behalf of Namify™.“We were honestly beyond amazed to be chosen,” Jensen said. “There are hundreds of great businesses here in Springville, and it’s a treasure to be given this award.”

One of the hot products we offer here atNamify™ is Custom Vehicle Wraps. This is a timeless option for customers that want to put their brand into public view wherever they go. We only use the highest quality 3M decaland laminate materials, and our teammates in graphics and wide-format printing have streamlined the process to a 3-5 day production window per vehicle.One misconception about Custom Vehicle Wraps is that some people believe the adhesive material will damage the paint of their vehicle. Actually, if installed and removed correctly, decal material can be easily removed without blemishes to vehicle exterior. Our installation team, headed by wide-format lead Tony DiFiore, is trained and certified to perform both installation and decal removal. A few of the interesting items we’ve received requests to wrap are: an RV, a dishwasher, a motorcycle, a tractor, a snowmobile, and more.
