My Story
Hi Everyone! As a member of Team Perkins, I'm running in the Flutie 5K for Autism: Dougie's Epic Adventure in September, and I am hoping you will support my efforts to raise money for the Flutie Foundation as they provide assistance to families affected by autism.
I have always worked hard to help children and families in our community, and this is one more way I can give back. If you know a family affected by autism then you understand how important programs and services are to them. Your financial support means so much to me and more importantly, to the children and families, I'm running on behalf of.
Thank you for your support!
Description
Join me in reaching my goal for the 2021 Flutie 5k for Autism: Dougie's Epic Adventure, to raise critical funds for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism to help people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest!
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 23-year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $15 million to partner schools and organizations who provide clinical therapies, respite services, recreational programs, social skills training, job supports and more for people and families affected by autism. The Flutie Foundation also provides direct financial support to families through initiatives like education technology tools, adaptive camp scholarships, safety equipment, to provide immediate help where it's needed the most.
