My Story…
Hello! Thank you for considering a donation to Dougie's Team! I have worked with individuals with Autism since 2007 in a variety of capacities! I am currently a behavior analyst; providing support for children, young adults, and their families.
It is an honor to be accepted onto Dougie's Team and to raise funds for Autism. I am very excited to raise much needed funds and to run this incredible race. 2021 will be different for sure, but together we can do this.
Love,
Melanie
Description
Former NFL Quarterback, Doug Flutie, and his wife Laurie started the Doug Flutie, Jr. Flutie Foundation for Autism in 1998 after their son, Dougie, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. Their personal experience of raising a son on the autism spectrum inspired them to help others on an equally long and challenging journey. Over its 20-year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $14 million to schools and organizations that provide clinical therapies, respite services, recreational programs, social skills training, job supports and more for people affected by autism.
The Flutie Foundation also provides education technology tools, adaptive camp scholarships, safety equipment, and direct family support through its special programs. The Flutie Foundation’s newest initiative, Flutie Spectrum Enterprises, will help create businesses to employ adults with autism.
