I'm so excited and proud to run for the Flutie Foundation! Here's a few things you should know:
A-I am not a "runner," but I'm doing this for the challenge
B-All money that is raised is WELL SPENT. I know this, because I handle it myself, and I can attest that every dollar raised goes back to families and people affected by autism (seriously!)
C-I left teaching to work for an organization that has an equally rewarding mission: helping people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest. I never could have imagined the impact this career change has had on my life, and more importantly, the impact the Foundation makes on the lives of others.
D-I appreciate your donation, and so do the thousands of people who are supported by the Foundation. THANK YOU so much!
Love,
Ellen
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.
