Fauquier CADRE, Inc. acts as the fiscal agent for the Fauquier CADRE (Community Alliance for Drug Rehabilitation and Education) coalition. The group serves Fauquier County, VA, a quickly growing rural area with a population of approximately 52,300. Since its inception, the CADRE coalition has recorded a number of significant accomplishments, most notably, developing a successful media campaign involving brochures, newsletters, newspapers, television, and a Web site.
