Official statement from CAE.

==
Comments have been made recently concerning a sexual abuse lawsuit that alleges an incident that occurred on New Year’s Eve 1982 involving the Garfield Cadets. Although Cadets Arts & Entertainment (CAE) has appropriately declined to comment on the pending and ongoing legal matter, the case has been publicly available since its inception and now has become a topic of discussion. CAE provides this brief comment:

The alleged incident, which CAE disputes and denies, occurred more than 40 years ago on New Year’s Eve, not at an official event sponsored by the Garfield Cadets. CAE did not exist until 2020. In May 2019, New Jersey changed its law, extending the statute of limitations and providing a two-year window for civil actions and past sexual abuse claims. In September 2020, a lawsuit was filed against multiple entities bearing the names “the Cadets,” the “Garfield Cadets,” the “Cadets of Bergen County,” and fictitious parties as successor entities. YEA! and CAE were subsequently named as defendants.

The CAE board and the organization's attorneys have vigorously worked to defend the case and to oppose any finding of, among other things, successor liability. Mediation is scheduled for November. Until this lawsuit is resolved, CAE cannot further comment on it or CAE’s financial challenges.

So the cadets have no dci championships, only 3 shows put out, and have made only 3 dci finals if we go by their logic

If you ask DCI how they compute their revenue sharing formula for the Cadets, the answer will be different.

But you know, they were not registered as a charity so they shouldn't have been asking for donations.

The upside is they are on the IRS's list of approved non profits. SO when you put in their tax ID on your own return as a deductible it will not cause a red flag. 

I believe Cadets are a registered non-profit in NJ not PA.

YEA was, CAE is not, based on a search.  CAE is IRS registered in PA, and they say they're state registered as a charity in PA, though it's still in process and hasn't shown up on the website yet.
