CADE is Philadelphia’s leading, elementary and middle school-based drug, alcohol, and violence prevention program.  Each year, CADE serves nearly 40,000 Philadelphia public school children by helping them learn to make smart decisions. 

Bill and Nancy Giles received a ceremonial bat made entirely by hand from a tightly-grained piece of rare Pennsylvania tiger maple—in recognition of their longstanding support of CADE. The commemorative bat was made by a team at Irion Furniture Makers.

Along with Bill and Nancy Giles, the first annual CADE Awards Ceremony recognized Principal Jack Hamilton, from Thurgood Marshall School in North Philadelphia, and also recognized 10 “CADE Kids” for their program participation and commitment to personal excellence.

Guests were treated to a rousing Mummers string band performance, and participated in a live and silent auction.
