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 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.
