Jan. 23 Flutie Bowl to Raise Money for Autism

The annual Flutie Bowl will feature performances by the Flutie Brothers Band.

Locals are gearing up for the ninth annual Flutie Bowl on Jan. 29., which will raise money for football legend and Natick native Doug Flutie's charity, the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism.

The Flutie Brothers Band will perform, featuring Doug himself on the drums. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served, followed by a silent auction that includes autographed sports memorabilia and others items.

“The Flutie Bowl is about bringing people together who really care about the autism community – including our dear friends, supporters, and local companies,” said Flutie in a statement. “We always have a great time bowling and playing music at this event, and we encourage everyone to come out to Kings for a fun night to support the Foundation.”
