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 $135,000, helping children from families-in-need benefitfrom this life changing camp experience. Paul Rudd said, "To see these kids get in front of an audience and speak, which is difficult for anyone, is incredibly moving. What they do just speaks to the power of joining a group and gaining confidence."
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 Ruddevent help 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 impact of stuttering, including: Camp SAY;Confident Voices after-school & weekend programs; Speech Therapy,and support groups.
