Summit’s CEO, Steve Anderson, stated, “The Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism has given us the opportunity to incorporate more engaging activities in our on-site respite care program. Because of their generosity, we can promote social interaction and physical wellness through a variety of equipment, from video game consoles to scooters and gym mats.”
