It's a special BIMBO birthday as we celebrate veteran defender Ray Gaddis.
Gaddis was drafted in the second round of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft by the Boys in Blue and after nine years with the squad he owns the franchise record for most career matches (220) and minutes played (18,702).
Off the pitch, Gaddis has been very active in the community not only in Philadelphia and in his hometown of Indianapolis, but nationwide. He is a founding member and executive board member of MLS’ Black Players for Change (BPC), where he focuses on helping develop programming and initiatives, and is working specifically to form strategic partnerships to address racial inequalities, elevate Black voices, and stand with those fighting racism on the broader soccer scape.
