Philip B. (Flip) Cady, Jr. '70

Athlete/Contributor - Tennis, Soccer, Ice Hockey

As a devoted alumnus, current parent then alumni parent and finally as an honorary lifetime trustee, Flip Cady has been a dedicated Whitfield Warrior for nearly 50 years. As a student-athlete, Flip played tennis, soccer and ice hockey during an era in our school’s history when enrollment was very small – just over 100 students at the time of his graduation. His tenacity on the court, field and ice helped his teams establish the foundation for the athletic program we are so proud of today.

In the 1990’s, Flip and his wife Candy enrolled their children at Whitfield: Elissa, Class of 1997; Chris, Class of 2000; and Laura, Class of 2002. During his time as a current parent, Flip attended hundreds of field hockey and soccer games cheering on the Warriors no matter the score.

Just like his father Phil and mother Barbara before him, Flip made Whitfield a philanthropic priority for his own family. Serving as co-chair of the Whitfield 2010 Campaign, Flip and Candy stepped forward with a leadership gift to endow the William W. Daues Athletic Chair which is awarded to an outstanding member of Whitfield’s athletic department.

In recognition of his deep and unwavering support, Flip has been the recipient of every major Whitfield School award including the Mary Leyhe Burke Award, the Chairman’s Award and the Elizabeth Woods Bradbury ’63 Outstanding Alumni Award. Whitfield’s Board of Trustees named Flip an Honorary Lifetime member in 2009.
