Chirichella Adaptive Division

Chirichella Adaptive Division

Made possible by Flutie Foundation board member, Joe Chirichella, the Chirichella Adaptive Division opens the door for adaptive runners to compete in a welcoming, inclusive, and competitive division at select Flutie 5Ks.
This initiative reflects our commitment to expanding adaptive participation, promoting autism acceptance, and empowering people and families with autism to live life to the fullest.
