Robert Cade
James Robert Cade (September 26, 1927 – November 27, 2007) was an American physician, university professor, research scientist and inventor. Cade, a native of Texas, earned his bachelor and medical degrees, and became a professor of medicine and nephrology at the University of Florida. Although Cade engaged in many areas of medical research, he is most widely remembered as the leader of the research team that formulated the sports drink Gatorade.〔Arline Phillips-Han, "( Dr. Robert Cade . . . saga of the world's best-selling sports drink and the creative physician scientist behind it )," ''Health Science Center News'', University of Florida (February 24, 2003).

In his later years, Cade became a prominent philanthropist, donating significant sums to charities affiliated with the Lutheran Church, creating scholarships and donating freely to the University of Florida and other colleges and universities, and endowing his own charitable foundations.
