Since 2000, the Flutie 5K for Autism has always been a peer-to-peer fundraising event where our participants drive the impact by fundraising within their own networks.

That being said, fundraising is not a requirement, however all participants are automatically given a fundraising page and have the option to raise additional funds by sharing the link to their personal pages. 

Once a participant raises over $150, they are automatically reimbursed for their registration fee and become eligible for limited edition Flutie 5K merchandise.
