The Paul Rudd All-Star Bowling Benefit raises crucial funds that help send young people who stutter to Camp SAY. Last year's event raised more than $160,000, helping so many children from families-in-need benefit from this life changing camp experience. Paul Rudd said, "This camp is such an amazing place where kids can go and feel completely free. You talk to all of the kids who go and they say it's the best time they've ever had."
More than 70 million people stutter, including 5% of all young children, and approximately 1 in every 100 adults. "Young people who stutter often face fear, ridicule and bullying, and may eventually silence themselves to hide their stutter. They may also feel isolated and alone," noted Taro Alexander, SAY Founder & President. "This Paul Rudd event helps kids and teens understand that stuttering shouldn't hold them back from anything they dream of doing."
The Stuttering Association for the Young (SAY.org) is a non-profit organization that offers innovative programs that address the physical, social and emotional impacts of stuttering, including: Camp SAY; Confident Voices after-school & weekend programs; Speech Therapy, and support groups.
