| In 1987, a group of committed corporate leaders, the presidents
of our four major league sports teams, and the city's Mayor and
Police Commissioner came together with a common mission---to fund
prevention programs that would protect a generation of elementary
school children from substance abuse and violence. Their investment
in the future of Philadelphia's children is known today as CADE...
Helping Children Make Smart Decisions.
Today, CADE works with approximately 45,000 children each year
throughout Philadelphia (and at one school in Norristown, PA and
two in Camden County, NJ), helping them to say NO to substance abuse
and violence in their communities. CADE Prevention Specialists are
consistent, trusted, positive adult role models who teach life-saving
skills: decision making, goal setting, conflict resolution, communication
and self-esteem.
Studies show CADE works. CADE is changing lives, saving lives,
every day.
