Our Story
We are excited to join in the Flutie 5k as a charity partner!
Global Campuses Foundation (GCF), a 501(c)(3) in its 20th year, is the only organization in Vermont providing a network of educational campuses fostering advanced learning for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities and autism. Participants are the creators and producers of their education, taking on leadership as teaching faculty, student scholars, and administrative staff.
GCF promotes a paradigm shift in attitudes and practices regarding disability. Our model fosters personal and professional growth by valuing participants’ life experiences and capacities with a new lens on ability. Honoring their voice and direction empowers a sense of ownership. Participants share their passions, develop social networks, and transfer enhanced self-confidence to advocacy for inclusion and equity.
Description
Help our team reach our 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.
