Dr. Robert Cade is a research physician at the University of Florida. In 1965 he was asked why football players lose so much weight during extended practices and games. That question led to research in which Cade developed a drink designed to replenish the fluids lost during heavy exercise. He even named the drink after the Florida football team-- Gatorade!
In 1988, sales of Gatorade had passed the $400 million mark. Yet Dr. Cade still lives in the same house in Gainesville, preferring to use his money on behalf of OTHERS.
He has supported Vietnamese boat people, paid the bills of many needy patients, funded research for the university, to name a few of his deeds.
When asked about his charitable gifts, he replied, "God has blessed me in all kinds of ways -- including a big income. In the book of Deuteronomy God tells the Israelites a man should give as he is blessed. I think I am dutybound to do as He suggests."
