FALL RIVER Call it an early Christmas present or a belated birthday present. Either way, The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation For Autism delivered a great gift to Gnome Surf founder Chris Antao last week.
Two days after Antao’s birthday, Flutie announced Gnome Surf as one of The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation For Autism grant recipients. The retired NFL quarterback made the announcement on Dec. 16th during a Zoom version of the Flutie Family Holiday Spectacular. In announcing the foundation’s grant to Gnome Surf, a surf camp for kids of all abilities, Flutie, a football star at Boston College as well as in the NFL and Canadian Footbal League, also professed his own love of surfing saying, “I just got off the waves, anything surfing I love,” said Antao.
