Franklin's Sara Nagy to Run Marathon for Flutie Foundation

Sara Nagy of Franklin will be running the 2024 Boston Marathon as a member of Dougie’s Team for Autism supporting The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. Nagy will be raising money to help the Flutie Foundation continue to fund programs that help people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest. 

The Flutie Foundation provides direct financial support to families to relieve the financial burden of caring for a loved one with autism, and collaborative grant making to autism-serving organizations. The Flutie Foundation works towards creating opportunities for people with autism to lead lives where they are included, respected and engaged in their communities. Sara is a full time music therapist who works with children/adolescents ages 0-18 with a range of developmental disabilities and emotional disorders! 

She hopes to one day open up her own music therapy clinic and coffee shop on the side. “I’ve befriended the wonderful autistic people who make up the Spectrum of Sound choir, and want to continue to support them musically and artistically in any way that I can,” says Nagy.

About the Flutie Foundation

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 25-year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $20 million to schools and organizations who 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 partnerships and special initiatives
