Our Story
The NEXT STEP program has received generous scholarship money from the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism since 2013. Our program is designed to provide high school aged students with Autism an easier transition into college by learning what to expect, how to access supports, and even experience living with a room mate in a dormitory and navigating the physical campus as well as the social environment of residential living. We are grateful for all the support from the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism and are looking forward to having our Team Run the 5K at a Satellite location next week!!
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.
