STARRY X FLUTIE

Flutie Foundation and STARRY: Creating joyful moments, unique brand experiences and impact in the autism community.

The Flutie Foundation is seeking financial investment, promotional products and marketing activation.

This partnership can individually change the lives of numerous young adults with autism while collectively contributing to a nationwide movement of autism acceptance.

Ahead is a chronological preview of upcoming collaborative initiatives where STARRY x Flutie can partner for a 2023-2024 campaign that HITS DIFFERENT for the autism community. We welcome further discussion, as STARRY support can be allocated towards individual STARS, selected events, or the overall STARS of the Spectrum program.

LAUNCH PARTNER FOR C-QUIG'S SINGLE, LEMONADE

C-Quig is an autistic rapper from St. Louis, MO. When he was two years old, doctors told him that he would never speak Now, he is performing at events across the country sharing his story through the power of his original music. His goal is to inspire others with autism that they can achieve their dreams.

C-Quig wrote an original song, Lemonade, about facing challenges head-on and making the best of something difficult. He performs this anthem at corporate events, like Fidelity, to promote positive culture and values.

C-Quig wants to release Lemonade as a summer anthem, in June or early July. STARRY x Flutie could partner on a collaborative social media promo campaign featuring STARRY product (reel, images, or video) post launch of the song.

JERSEY MIKE'S

We are a proud partner with Jersey Mike's. Beyond the Month and Day of Giving, we host a Jersey Mike's lunch program where we buy lunch for autism-serving organizations on a regular basis. We are proud to intentionally support people, families and organizations who are racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse and in need of access and resources.

From feeding summer camps, to local schools, all the way to partnering STAR of the Spectrum Zachary Henderson to feed Georgia Tech Football, our lunch program is a mission-centric and direct way to connect with the community.

To celebrate our brands' synergy, we would love to partner in existing campaigns for exciting new product launches, like the Miss Vickie's Spicy Dill Pickle flavored chips, or launch a Starry/Jersey Mike's Day/Month of Giving campaign with a concert or social promo, video content, etc.
