As we close out the FŌM25 season, we reflect on an incredible summer of service, teamwork, and impact. This year we had the privilege of playing it forward for Annie Mondragon, the Barton family, McDowell County Schools, the Woerner family, World Orphans, and Kids’ Food Basket in honor of Rose.

From June 30–July 25, our team is #PlayingItForward for the Woerner family—Mike, Eva, and Ozzy. In late 2024, Mike was diagnosed with stage 4 small bowel adenocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer that develops in the small intestine. Since then, the Woerners have been adjusting to a new reality—supporting Mike through treatment and working through the many changes that come with it.

From June 2–27, our team is #PlayingItForward for McDowell County Schools. The county was hit by major flooding in February 2025, causing extensive damage and prompting school closures. Through it all, the district stayed focused on connection, care, and helping the community move forward.

From May 5–30, our team is #PlayingItForward for the Barton family—Bill, Marci, Sydney, and Lucas. Lucas was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) when he was five and a half years old. DMD is a severe, progressive genetic disorder that causes muscle degeneration and weakness due to the absence of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact.
