On February 2nd 2022 our life took a both expected and unexpected turn when our beautiful, smart, funny, silly, son, Benjamin, received a Level 1 Autism diagnosis. Suddenly our days are filled with applications, continued Early Intervention, paperwork, meetings, and ABA therapy. One of the first things we were told to do is reach out to the Flutie Foundation. We were lucky enough to receive a grant to allow Benjamin to have private swim lessons.
When Brian saw that the Flutie Foundation had a team in the Falmouth road race he knew he wanted to be apart of it to raise money for this great charity.
We are so grateful for any and every donation. Thank you so much!
All our love: Brian, Katie, Benny, and Will (& Norm and Cliff)
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.
