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 directly with approximately 10,000 children
each year throughout Philadelphia (and at one school in Norristown,
PA), 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.
