For participating in 2021 Flutie 5k for Autism

Our Story

Framingham State University community members, family, and friends are all welcome to join the students and faculty of the Education Department for the Flutie 5K. We have previously organized teams in 2015, 2016, and 2019, raising hundreds of dollars to support the Flutie Foundation's mission. 

Join our team today and bring a friend this fall for an inclusive run/walk/roll event and a way to build community in the Education Department!

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.
