My Story…
I am the mom of a special needs young adult and have navigated the many challenges facing families in this lane. The Doug Flutie Foundation has given my daughter, Hanna, a place to belong and thrive as she sets rigorous goals each year and meets them with the support of her Flutie Teammates. I am constantly impressed with their commitment to inclusion and outreach. The work of the Foundation is visionary & their success stories abound. I am proud to join this Team to run(jog) the Falmouth Road Race this August 21, 2022. I will be running with my family to support all families growing stronger because of the powerful work of the Doug Flutie Jr Foundation for Autism ❤️
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.
