The Players Development Academy is proud of the partnership with our friends at the Special Olympics. Pictured here is club President Tom Anderson and Patty Seitz handing the Special Olympics a check for $85,000 as a result of the PDA's 24 Hour Soccer Marathon. Congratulations to all the players, coaches and families for all the support to make the event such a huge success.
“Genuine Jersey Pride defines Special Olympics New Jersey and celebrates the impact we have on all who participate as well as those privileged to witness the magic every time an athlete with an intellectual disability takes the field, scores a goal, achieves a personal best time, or simply experiences the joy of participation. The continuing support of the Players Development Academy to SONJ helps to continue our efforts to provide these types of opportunities and create a more accepting and inclusive world for all people-with and without intellectual disabilities. Genuine is the way we approach sport in New Jersey and celebrate Pride in the athletes we serve.”
Marc Edenzon: Chief of Global Programming, Special Olympics International & Former President & CEO, Special Olympics New Jersey
