Marlborough Police, Pastors Helping to Raise $15K for David

A fun time is expected by all.

Marlborough Police Officers will be facing off against Brazilian Pastors and Priests but for a good reason: at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 7, the Four Kicks in Marlborough, members of the Marlborough Police Department, including the chief, lieutenants, sergeants, and patrol officers, will play soccer to raise money for David Badaro. 

David is 11-years-old and is fighting Hodgkins Lymphoma.
