Players Development Academy hosted a 24-hour marathon soccer match as a
charity/fundraising event. Players from the 23 PDA soccer club teams,
along with players from the PDA Urban Academy programs in New Brunswick,
participated in the marathon. All donations were split 50/50 with the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The
